Subject: RE: Review: Legendary Tommy Makem
It was my pleasure to play with the "lads" at the Gate of Horn. We recorded "Hearty and Hellish" there. Tommy was the kindest, nicest man, sensitive and open. Aside from the memorable Cobbler's Song there has never been anyone that I have ever heard that could
do the rendition he did of "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya'" which sent chills down my back.
A great human being and I was fortunate to know him.

He is still the Bard of Armadgh as far as I'm concerned.
