About

Irish folk singer and guitarist, born October 18, 1939 in Dublin.
He is one of Ireland's most famous ballad singers and best known for songs such as "The Fields of Athenry", "The Town I Loved So Well" and "The Flight of Earls".
Released in 1983, his rendition of the 'The Fields of Athenry' became the most successful version of the song, remaining in the Irish charts for 72 weeks.
