About Johnny Duhan

  • Johnny Duhan (born 30 March 1950) started his career as a fifteen-year-old front man in the Limerick beat group Granny’s Intentions.
  • After achieving some success in Dublin, they moved to London and were signed to the Decca/Deram record label, releasing several singles and one album, Honest Injun.
  • However, the band disbanded before Duhan was twenty one.
  • Despite offers to front other bands, Duhan turned his back on the popular music industry and started writing folk songs, poetry and prose.
  • He has condensed his various works over 40 years into a quartet of albums: Just Another Town, To The Light, The Voyage and Flame.
  • These correspond with the four chapters of his lyrical autobiography, To The Light.
  • His songs have achieved notability, largely thanks to the focus put on them by Christy Moore, The Dubliners, Mary Black and many other Irish and international singers.
  • The Duhan song "The Voyage" has become a modern classic.
  • Christy Moore stated that "The Voyage" (his most popular song according to iTunes) has been performed at over a million weddings worldwide.
