Pete St. John

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pete St. John is an Irish folk singer-songwriter, most notable for composing Fields of Athenry.

Pete St. John is a prolific composer of widely sung modern ballads; his other most famous song is "Dublin in the Rare Ol' Time". His songs often express regret for the loss of old certainties (the latter song regrets the loss of Nelson's Pillar and the Metropole Ballroom, two symbols of old Dublin, as progress makes a "city of my town")
