"The Girl Against Fluoride" is getting a helping hand in her recent campaign from a local musician. Si's Sights And Sounds went to find out more
"The Rose Of Fluoride Free", by Muff-based singer-songwriter Karl McCarron, has been penned to support the campaign calling for the removal of hydrofluorosylicic acid from Ireland's water supply.
McCarron says that he was inspired to write the song from hearing of "The Girl Against Fluoride" herself - Tralee-based nutritional expert & occupational therapist Aisling Fitzgibbon. Fitzgibbon has embarked on a nationwide tour to educate the public about "the dangers of fluoride consumption", and recently caused quite a stir when attending this year's Rose Of Tralee festival as "The Rose Of Fluoride Free" - hence the title of the song.
"I thought it was hilarious, yet bold, brilliant and daring", says McCarron. "I had been following her on Facebook, but it was that move, in particular, that motivated me to come up with something to help her out.
"I was very moved by the depth of her personal commitment to the fluoride issue and the lengths she is prepared to go to for the greater good of all, by dragging this important social topic centre stage into the public consciousness. So I was very keen to write something in her honour and as a tribute to her.""The Rose Of Fluoride Free" was recorded several days ago at Elevation Studios in Convoy, under the production skills of owner/engineer John Grealish. Once the song has been mixed & mastered, it will be immediately available on both Soundcloud and Karl McCarron's Facebook page.
The song, certain to become an instant anthem for the anti-fluoride movement, is scheduled to receive its debut live performance at The One Foot Inn, Burnfoot, this Sunday, October 7. The entire evening is also due to be filmed by Ciaran Keogh of Keoster Productions, and the resulting footage will be uploaded to YouTube.
