John McDermott’s zodiac sign is Aries. According to astrologers, the presence of Aries always marks the beginning of something energetic and turbulent. They are continuously looking for dynamic, speed and competition, always being the first in everything - from work to social gatherings. Thanks to its ruling planet Mars and the fact it belongs to the element of Fire (just like Leo and Sagittarius), Aries is one of the most active zodiac signs. It is in their nature to take action, sometimes before they think about it well.
John McDermott was born in the Year of the Goat. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Goat enjoy being alone in their thoughts. They’re creative, thinkers, wanderers, unorganized, high-strung and insecure, and can be anxiety-ridden. They need lots of love, support and reassurance. Appearance is important too. Compatible with Pig or Rabbit.
Most well known for his famous rendition of the traditional ballad "Danny Boy," he is also notable for his platinum albums Love Is a Voyage; Old Friends; and Christmas Memories, as well as for his membership in the popular band The Irish Tenors.
In the early 1980s, he established a music group called The Mistletones. A decade later, after recording the wildly popular single "Danny Boy," he toured with both The Chieftains and The Seekers.
He hosted several CBC music specials and was the subject of the 2002 PBS program John McDermott: A Time to Remember.
He spent the first ten years of his life in Glasgow, Scotland, and the remainder of his youth in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
