Songs and Entertainment
It's a Long Way to Tipperary (or Connemara?)
The song "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" was created in the Newmarket Tavern, Stalybridge by the composer Jack Judge, in 1912, after being challenged to write, compose, and produce a song in "just one night". It was first sung in public by him in the Grand Theatre on Corporation Street on 31 January 1912. Tipperary was chosen over Connemara as being more familiar to a British audience.
Following the war pubs were re-named by returning veterans including the Boars Head in Fleet Street by de-mobbed printers.
