John Conolly

About the show

John Conolly is an internationally-respected songwriter, who has based his style firmly in the British folk tradition. His most popular song, “Fiddlers Green” – a fisherman’s vision of Paradise – is performed and loved all over the world. Although Sea Songs are the bedrock of John’s repertoire, a typical Conolly performance will cast its net more widely, featuring songs from the Lincolnshire countryside like " Brigg Fair" and "Caistor Fair" and songs and stories inspired by John's worldwide travels, and a generous helping of his cheeky humour, including the adventures of "The Grumpy Old Men of Old England" and "The Bionic Fisherman".
