Have just seen this. I spent a lot of time with Packie when he was living in England and found him a wonderful man. I have said before that his Topic album "Songs of a Donegal Man" was the best album that I ever worked on...and I still think that this is true. He was a marvellous singer and whistle player...and he had a great sense of humour. I recall the late Stanley Robertson falling about as he retold one of Packie's bawdier jokes! Packie enriched all our lives and we are all the better for having known him. |
