John Conolly
John Conolly is an Internationally-respected songwriter who has based his style firmly n the Folk tradition.His finely crafted songs are performed with warmth, good humour and litlting accompaniments on guitar and melodion.
Many of John's songs have a tang of the sea, inherited from his upbringing on the east coast of England, where his grandfather and great-grandfather were boatbuilders on the banks of the river Humber. His best known composition, the classic Fiddler's Green has the ring of a true folk ballad, and has often been taken for a traditional song. John's more recent work continues the tradition of finely crafted writing - listen to the heart-rending Willie Leonard, the elegaic Old Men Sing Love Songs, or the outrageously funny Smartarse....
John's songs have been performed and recorded by many well-known artistes - people like The Dubliners, Malinky, The McAlmans, Roy Bailey, Stormalong John, The Yetties, and George Hamilton IV to name but a few - but there's a special buzz in hearing them sung by the composer.
Join him in Corrie Hall on your very own trip to Fiddler's Green.
