'Kitty' is the 2nd single from forthcoming new album, ‘Moments In Time’, which will be released on Friday 29 September 2023 coinciding with Finbar's 77th Birthday. The 1st single 'Blue Jewel In The Sky' was released in 2020, but Covid19 delayed the release of the album.
Finbar says of 'Kitty':-
'Shane MacGowan asked me specially to sing 'Kitty' for his 60th birthday. It was one of his mother's favourite traditional Irish songs. It's a beautiful song which I love singing, and when I added it to my concert setlist it always got an amazing reaction from the audience.’

Kitty
Oh Kitty my darling remember
That doom will be mine if I stay
It’s far better to part, though it’s hard to
Than to rot in their prison away.
It’s far better to part, though it’s hard to
Than to rot in their prison away.
So softly he then kissed her pale lips
It was the same story over and o’er
Hush mavourneen the police are watching
And you know that I must go a stόr.
Hush mavourneen the police are watching
And you know that I must go a stόr.
In a day I’ll be over the mountain
And there will be time enough left for to cry
So goodnight and God guard you forever
And write to me won’t you.
Goodbye.
So goodnight and God guard you forever
And write to me won’t you.
Goodbye.
