about

Folkatron Sessions are back - 8 musicians, 7 days and 1 experimental folk record from scratch.

‘My Son John’ is the first single from their new album. It's an Irish folk song first published in 1876, about the thousands of young Irishmen who became cannon fodder in the Napoleonic Wars. There are many versions of this song, including as a marching song for Irish Volunteers in World War I and a protest song against injured soldiers being cheated out of their benefits. The arrangement interprets this traditional song with a close pairing of string, electric guitar and synth textures.
