The best Irish Folk group. I heard these songs when I studied at TCD in late sixties.

[@grahamadamson5933]

I first heard and saw The Johnstons at the Hind's Head folk night in Aldermaston village in the 60's . When they struck up with the first number , I was so thrilled ..... the wonderful harmonies and the vitality and passion made my heart race and the hairs stand up on the back of my neck . I fell in love with Adrienne that night ..... no hope of marriage , but she asked for my medallion which I willingly gave . That was a night to remember and cherish ..... to hear them live in a small pub backroom could not be beaten . Thank you for making this available Jessica , and for giving an old fellah a treat . The Johnstons still thrill , and shouldn't be forgotten .

[@scottishjock9018]

Having listened Graham...couldn't agree more...the Irish music scene is phenomenal 🎶🎶🎶

[@georgesmyth6577]

Mick passed away this year I believe. And as for Adrienne,what a sad story.

[@theratcatcher860]

@@georgesmyth6577 Only realised the tragic things that befell this Fabulous Irish Folk Group .. thankfully Paul Brady is still going strong🎵🎵🎵

[@christiansmith2983]

Wow. Beautiful tale. Only 31 myself so missed them. What a great folk band ay.

[@maurafoye9501]

I absolutely love this song from the 1st time i heard it, the voices and the harmonies, i am now in my 70s.❤

[@HelenMacInnes-r4h]

First heard The Johnstons when I was in my teens. Used to sing a lot of their songs with my then boyfriend. Long time ago now, but I still love to listen and sing along with them. Those days will never return! Many, many happy memories.

[@grahamadamson5933]

Every time I hear these tracks of The Johnstons , I thrill to those close harmonies . I was so lucky to have seen them live in the intimacy of a pub performance and having a chat with them .... thanks to the group and glory to you Adrienne . x

spot on jane!

[@georgesmyth6577]

This album approaches greatness.

[@zeropolm]

one of the most beautiful folk albums of all time. I pity the people who haven't heard this.

[@nozecone]

I'm hearing it for the first time right now ... beautiful.

[@tonylenton8385]

I first heard this album in 1971, when I was19 and a bit of a hippy. They had another one called” The Johnston’s sampler.” It started my lifetime love of Irish music. Listening to it now makes me realise just what a great band they were. Absolutely timeless and beautiful

[@waltertanner7982]

@@tonylenton8385Hi, Tony! In this year, I heard their Spanish Lady via radio in Saarbrücken (near german/french Border) and was quick enough to record it on my Grundig taperecorder in high quality. I was 22 an came from Berlin to study there. This wonderful record was the only one I had of them for about 10 years, when I started to find more and more CDs from them, if I remember right. They absolutely belonged to the top groups of their time with harmonies, playing and arrangements - and the girls so pretty.

[@johnjennings9693]

Fantastic, what a time in Irish music,we had the Johnston's, Emmet spiceland, the Paterson's and later the Morrisseys a wonderful time in Irish music, what raw talent they all had, beautiful, thanks for the video,

[@glibshameless2805]

Different class 🎵🎵

[@jandevries2729]

I discovered this beautifull music a year ago. To my regret they were not well known in the Netherlands.

[@SkeligMichael]

Another well know song by the Johnstons. Listening to it brings me back to my youth, when I was a teenager.

[@doreenrickerby8087]

Brings back memories of a Sunday drive while singing with my dad. No belts that time 9 of us in the car

[@skangerlanger9999]

Just listening to this ...that lead singer died😢

[@moviereviews4747]

We had this lp at home back in the 70s, my father when he was alive loved Irish music. Incredible album, some terrific tunes on there I Never Will Marry & Curragh Of Kildare being my favourites. Love their vocal harmonies also.

[@neilbruce4078]

Ditto.....used to play it over and over in the 70s / early eighties...and wore those big massive earphones so as not to drive everyone else mad....hadn't heard this album for over 35yrs but remembered the order of play and all the tunes.....good childhood memories 🙂

[@tilmorningrise650]

Used to sing these songs with two boys I was at school with. Sadly they are no longer with us, so brings back happy memories and I love singing along! x

[@jackryan5805]

Always loved this group and this album in particular. . Raw and very real performances. . . Straight from the heart and lightly produced. . This is REAL music. . Love it!

[@johnjennings9693]

Absolutely no gadgets or gismos,raw talent,

[@theratcatcher860]

Such beautiful harmonies🎵🎵🎵

[@MARTINASVOYAGE1]

This brings back so many loving happy memories for me, my Mother is never far away when I listen to this album xxx

[@ziskakhan4112]

Ohh, a gem, a gem, I think I had this on vinyl when I was still at school - you know, shut up in the bedroom and playing the thing over over and over again, wearing out the needle and getting cursed at ... Thanks for posting! :D

…..Lovely with harmonies…..Thank you.

[@ellieforster5352]

Love this. Thank you so much for this. My ex got the lp in the divorce and I've been suffering withdrawal. Love this album.

[@kiaoragin]

I seem to know all these songs. Must have been the transistor radio and the record player going most of the day back then

[@View2Views]

listening to this I feel happy!

[@edmundcoyle364]

[@pallaschris]

Brings back many happy childhood memories of a reel to reel tape and great sing songs. Thanks a million for posting

[@bcoffey]

Song by Ewan McColl (father of Kirsty). The Johnstons group had Paul Brady as a member.

I've recently rediscovered this album as I remember it from my childhood. I have it on vinyl...

Bmullard Make sure its the original Marble Arch mono issue (collection of Pye mono singles) and not the later, ghastly Hallmark iasue. Not only did that latter change the running order but it also processed the recordings for "electronic stereo". YUK !

By the weay: your recordings have a little beep tone in silend parts of the recording.. seems a mistake of the software . try the n°23 recorder for better results, i use it myself
