In 1975 Johnny Cash was in Dublin to perform two shows at the Carlton. Coinciding with his live appearances he took time out to talk to Áine O’Connor for the programme First House.

The Man in Black explains how he began song writing and the influence his wife June’s family have had on his music. Johnny also provides some words of wisdom and experience for aspiring performers.

He also talks about the pitfalls of fame and the temptation of drugs and booze. In 1958 Johnny Cash came to Ireland for a holiday and this trip was the inspiration for the song ‘Forty Shades of Green’.

This episode of ‘First House’ was broadcast on 29 September 1975. Enjoy!
