John Spillane

About Me

John is a native of Cork, the county he lovingly describes as 'the centre of the universe', and it has been a huge influence on this singer/songwriter. Vocally, Spillane is quite unique with an almost sean nos like element and has been described as having a voice 'full of honesty, commitment and sensitivity'.

' ... some of the most skillfully crafted, vividly realized songs anyone has written in Ireland over the past dozen years.' Earle Hitchner, premier writer/reviewer for Irish Echo/Wall St. Journal.
