Is ceoltóir, scríbhneoir amhrán, taibheoir, ealaíontóir taifeadta, scéalaí, file agus brionglóidí é John Spillane. Fréamhaithe i ndaoine, áit agus scéal, iompraíonn a cheol an t-éisteoir, agus meallann a thaibhithe beo lucht féachana ar fud an domhain.

Tá cruthaitheacht agus scríbhneoireacht amhrán John Spillane spreagtha go mór ag an Dúlra i gcónaí. Déanann sé ceiliúradh ar na páirceanna thart ar an bhfeirm inar chaith sé cuid mhór dá óige ar a amhrán ‘Gortatagort’, tugann sé ómós d’amhrán chóranna na n-éan ar ‘The Dawn Chorus’ agus is ceoldráma tíre trí ghníomh é Fíoruisce – The Legend of the Lough, ceoldrámaíocht tíre trí ghníomh a dhíríonn ar Chorcaigh, ceantar a thuairiscíonn John mar ‘seod atá i bhfolach ar an saol agus áit nádúrtha leighis’

Tá ceol John spreagtha ag ceol traidisiúnta na hÉireann ina fhoirm chomhaimseartha agus cuimsíonn sé é – léiriú ar Éirinn an lae inniu. Ní mór féachaint ar an léiriú speisialta dátheangach seo a thacaíonn le teaghlaigh mar chuid d’Fhéile Inspioráide Aeráide na Gaillimhe!
