John Spillane – Under That Old Clare Moon
Remembrance of things past.
Cork national treasure John Spillane (top) serenades us with the second single from his album 100 Snow White Horses.
Produced by John Reynolds and featuring Pauline Scanlan on backing vocals, the ballad is accompanied by a brilliantly shot video directed by Barry Donnellan and choreographed by Karena Walsh. It was filmed at The Everyman Theatre, Cork.
John writes:
“I composed the song in 2016 and first performed it in Cratloe, County Clare, on Valentine’s Night 2019 in the house of well-loved local musician Ger O’ Donnell. I then had the huge honour of performing it with the iconic Kilfenora Céilí Band at the Leinster Fleadh that same year. They gave it the ultimate Clare stamp of approval!”
John’s tour starts this Saturday at Magic Nights by the Lee in Ballinlough Park, Cork.
Nick says: John, I’m only dancing.
Lovely John, no better man!
Great work all, very nice.
a gorgeous turn of phrase from a class act
