This album features the original hit recording of Paddy Reilly’s “The Fields Of Athenry” which stayed in the Irish Charts for over a year.
Written by Pete St John, this song has become one of the most recorded Irish Ballads of all time and has also established itself as one of the great sporting anthems.
From the terraces of Glasgow Celtic’s Parkhead to Landsdowne road to Thomond Park or “Muzzer”, “The Fields..” has become entrenched in The Irish Psyche. We do not always reach the promise land of sporting glory but we’ll die trying and singing till we’re hoarse.
