Biography Login to edit
was an Irish folk singer-songwriter. Born in Dublin, Ireland, he was best known for composing "The Fields of Athenry". St. John was born as Peter Mooney in Inchicore, Dublin in 1932. Educated at Synge Street CBS and trained as an electrician, he emigrating to Canada before returning to Ireland in the 1970s.
He wrote The Fields of Athenry in 1979, and it has been recorded by several artists, charting in the Irish Singles Chart on a number of occasions. A recording by Paddy Reilly, which was released in 1982, remained in the Irish charts for 72 weeks.
St. John also composed a number of other modern ballads, such as "The Rare Ould Times" and "The Ferryman", which have been recorded by several artists, including The Dubliners, James Last, Paddy Reilly, and Mary Black. A version of "The Rare Ould Times", as sung by Danny Doyle, spent 11 weeks in the Irish Singles Chart, reaching No. 1 in 1978. St. John's songs, including "The Rare Ould Times" and "The Ferryman", sometimes express regret for the loss of old certainties (for example the loss of Nelson's Pillar and the Metropole Ballroom, two symbols of old Dublin, as progress makes a "city of my town").
St. John won several awards, including the Irish Music Rights Organisation "Irish Songwriter of the Year". He died in Dublin on 12 March 2022, at the age of 90.
