Songs and Entertainment


It's a Long Way to Tipperary (or Connemara?)

SJ9698 : Jack Judge by Gerald England SJ9698 : Jack Judge Statue by David Dixon SJ9698 : It's A Long Way To Tipperary by Gerald England SJ7387 : It's a Long Way To Tipperary, Stamford Military Hospital Recreation Room by David Dixon

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.
