Kabin Crew Lyrics



[Submit a Song]


Back to: K


Based in Knocknaheeny in northside Cork City, the Kabin Crew is made up of around 30 young people in the local area, who meet regularly at the Kabin Studio, a not-for-profit vibrant music and creative hub, repurposed from a metal container, described by The Echo as a "hive of creativity”. They write and perform their own material, spanning a variety of genres.

Producer Garry McCarthy and members of the Kabin Crew tell us all about the biggest banger of the summer. Their song "The Spark" is performed by the Kabin Crew, named after the studio where McCarthy is the creative director and runs weekly workshops which aim to create youth empowerment through music. A number of the children come from the Cork suburb of Knocknaheeny - one of the Irish city's most socially deprived areas.

The producer is the brains behind 'The Spark', an infectious drum and bass banger written for a youth project in Cork that has racked up millions of views and been hailed as the song of the summer.

The track, which was written partly for Cruinniú na nÓg, the annual Irish celebration of youthful creativity, has now found a massive global audience. Last weekend, it even found its way into some of the sets performed on electronic music dance stages at Glastonbury - as documented on the Instagram stories of Irish DJ Annie Mac.
