And a really entertaining performer he is.

When I introduced John Conolly at a concert at Whitby this year as the man who wrote Fiddler's Green, the first thing he said, after sound-checking with a bit of The Punch and Judy Man (the sound check itself earned a ripple of applause) was, "Right, I'm not singing that. Or Fiddler's Green."

And he was true to his word! Fair play. Must be dispiriting to have people always turning up to hear just two songs!
