Songwriting
One of Farry's earliest compositions, Lough Melvin's Rocky Shore became a hit for the rising young star from Donegal, Daniel O'Donnell. O'Donnell went on to record a number of John Farry tracks, with Summertime In Ireland becoming the Kincasslagh crooner's first number one hit in Ireland in 1987.
Apart from Daniel O'Donnell, Farry's songs have also been recorded by Brendan Quinn, Marc Roberts, Ray Lynam, Michael O'Brien and Mick Flavin.
Farry's songwriting talent received its greatest exposure to date in 1997, when Marc Roberts sang Mysterious Woman to No. 2 in the Eurovision Song Contest held in London. John Farry has also recorded in Nashville, Tennessee where he co-wrote with several top Irish and Nashville songwriters.
Today John Farry continues to perform successfully throughout the four Provinces of Ireland and write top class country music songs.
