John Spillane is a musician, songwriter, performer, recording artist, storyteller, poet and dreamer. Rooted in people, place and story, the Cork native’s music transports the listener, and his live performances captivate audiences around the world.
He has an extensive back catalogue beginning with The Wells of the World (1997), and his songs have been covered by Christy Moore, Sharon Shannon, Sean Keane and many others.
John is inspired by and encapsulates Irish traditional music in its contemporary form; his music is a reflection of Ireland today. Spillane’s latest release, his most artistically ambitious work to date: Fíoruisce – The Legend of the Lough, won Best Album at the 2025 RTÉ Folk Awards.
