Pete St. John

Pete St. John is an Irish folk singer-songwriter, most notable for composing Fields of Athenry.

Pete St. John is a prolific composer of widely sung modern ballads; his other most famous song is "Dublin in the Rare Old Times". His songs often express regret for the loss of old certainties (the latter song regrets the loss of Nelson's Pillar and the Metropole Ballroom, two symbols of old Dublin, as progress makes a "city of my town") As everyone knows he is a Glasgow Celtic supporter and allowed Glasgow Celtic to use this song on the terraces of Celtic Park
