To The Light
''To the Light'' is an album by Irish folk singer Johnny Duhan Johnny Duhan (born 30 March 1950) started his career as the 15-year-old frontman of the Ireland, Irish Beat music, beat group Granny's Intentions. After success in Limerick and Dublin, the band moved to London and was signed to the Deram Recor .... ''To the Light'' charts Duhan's years on the road with bands in the sixties and seventies, tilting for fame and the girl. Its tone and rhythm come from the radios, jukeboxes, cafes, bars, dance-halls and nightclubs of the time it sings of. It is not a success story; numerous failures and heartaches are encountered on the road.

Folk music is a music genre that includes traditional folk music and the contemporary genre that evolved from the former during the 20th-century folk revival.
