John Spillane

John Spillane is from Cork, Ireland. I learned of
him through a recommendation from Christy
Moore, saying he's worth finding.

I play John Spillane's music on my radio show
on a regular basis. The mysteries are in him.

There's a live version of Magic Nights In The
Lobby Bar on his myspace site's jukebox, with
Louis de Paor of The Gaelic Hit Factory. It is
something to hear.

Also on his myspace site (link below), down the
left side a few inches there's a video of Spillane
with the Irish legends Christy Moore, Donal Lunny
and Declan Sinnott, doing John's song, Johnny
Don't Go.

Ten minutes well-spent!

P.S. Ruth did the show last Thursday, as she always
does the last Thursday of the month. I'm in this week.
News here tomorrow about what I'll be doing with my
last show before a month in Europe.

On we go,
