Folk singer, guitarist, flautist (and practitioner of the double tin whistle), John is also a member of celebrated traditional group Skipper's Alley.
Alongside improvisations and tunes picked up by John along the way, material the uncompromising Irish musician has chosen to record include songs learned from recordings of Shirley Collins, Frank Harte and settled Traveller Paddy Quilligan, activist and folk revivalist Ewan MacColl, and a West Indies halyard shanty published by "Last Working Shantyman" Stan Hugill.
