Johnny’s first win was in 1980 with the song ‘What’s Another Year’ (which later reached number one in the UK); his second was in 1987 with ‘Hold Me Now’ (which later became a fan anthem for the Irish Football Club, Bohemian F.C.); and his third was in 1992, as the songwriter of winning hit ‘Why Me’ (sung by Linda Martin).
As well as his Eurovision successes, Johnny has released an enormous amount of hits, with forty singles and nineteen albums across Europe in total.
