John Faulkner worked at the cutting edge of the folk revival in the 1960s and 70s, when he performed with Ewan McColl and peggy Seeger, gaining an insight and understanding of the vast body of folk music and songs of the British Isles and Ireland.

Since moving to Ireland in 1980 he has recorded and toured extensively with Dolores Keane and many other musicians in the Irish scene, most notably Kevin Burke, Arty McGlynn, Nolaig Casey and De Dannan. In 1989 his song Lion in a Cage, about Nelson Mandela, topped the Irish charts for four weeks.
