The Johnstons

arghh · 2007-03-30 11:12:12

I always thought that the Johnstons were such a great group with lovely harmonies kinda forgotten though. Their version of the curragh of Kildare is perfect to me. Is there other people who perhaps saw them live in their heyday?

Never saw them play, but yes, they were a great group. I have an old, well worn cassette tape of them around the house, somewhere.
They have an entry in Wikipedia, and there's more info on paulbrady.com.

got a LP of them lately(Travelling people) on the Marble Arch Label of stuff that was not released on CD with the Curragh of Kildare ,Travelling people Banks of Claudy, Never will marry.I heard them when I was very young and their sound has stayed with me. I heard that one of the girls died in the USA sometime back.
