From Cló-Iar Chonnachta home page http://www.cic.ie/
:

One of the sweetest, most sensitive and most natural sean-nós singers of our time. From Carna in Western Connemara, Johnny Mháirtín Learaí upholds a long tradition of rich and beautiful singing passed down to him from such talented neighbours as Seán 'ac Dhonncha (Johnny Jó Phaitsín), Seosamh ó héanaí, Josie Sheáin Jeaic, Seán Choilm and Colm Ó Caodháin. Johnny won Corn Uí Riada at Oireachtas na Gaeilge in 1985. The songs on this album include some of the great favourites in Irish and English with which he is identified, such as 'Contae Mhuigheo', 'Sadhbh Ní Bhruinnealla', 'A Stór Mo Chroí';, 'Tá na Páipéir á Saighneáil', 'My Own Dear Native Land' and 'The Bogs of Shanageever'

I'll include my email if anyone has any questions:
