About Athenry

  • The Fields of Athenry, written by Pete St John in 1979, tells the story of a young man transported to Australia during the Great Famine of the 1840s for stealing corn to feed his starving family. The song, which is set against the backdrop of the fields around Athenry, became one of the most widely sung Irish folk songs of the late twentieth century and is particularly associated with Irish sporting occasions — it is sung by supporters of the Irish national football and rugby teams and by fans of Celtic FC in Scotland. The song's combination of historical resonance, emotional directness, and memorable melody has made it one of the most powerful expressions of the Irish diaspora experience.
