John Barleycorn

An ancient tribute to beer making

I have always loved old stories, oral traditions, and this ancient English song is no exception. A step-by-step guide on how to make beer…poor John Barleycorn SHOULD DIE.

It is quarantine time and I decided to join the #quarantunes hashtag just for fun, so I always wanted to sing and play this one song that became extremely famous thanks to the TRAFFIC.

Instead I actually got to hear this song the first time on a tape, the singer was JOHN RENBOURN, an amazing guitar player and storyteller. So after so many years here I am, enduring a lockdown in Italy, trying to overcome boredome and mental insanity playing and singing what I like non-stop.

Thanks to:

MARTIN ESPOSITO – Guitar and Lead Vox

AMY ROSE ESPOSITO – Bass Guitar

DANIELE CALABRO’ – CAJON

And btw, I am the one singing and playing the fiddle!

I hope you enjoy the music on my youtube channel Seán Silla, and if you do, please LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE! That would be a great way to show your support to my music!
