Johnny has always been highly acclaimed for the quality of his live concert shows and when his Autumn 2025 Tour was announced it received a huge response from his legion of fans nationwide as with Covid and it’s consequences he hasn’t toured for the past four years. His current live show is called “A Nostalgic Evening of Song and Story” and features all of Johnny’s hit songs,including Mursheen Durkin, Boston Burglar, Long before your Time,Rich Man’s Garden, Michael Collins etc, many of these songs penned by Johnny.
