Subject: Congratulations to Len Graham!
Congratulations to Len Graham on his soon to be released, .... & long awaited, book on Joe Holmes - "Here I Am Amongst You"!
Songs, Music and Traditions of an Ulsterman - " ... an account of the folklore and repertoire of one of the most influential singers and traditional fiddlers in Ireland - Joe Holmes (1906-1978) of County Antrim."
Here I Am Amongst You - Len Graham Book on Songs, Dance Music and Traditions of Joe Holmes (1906 - 1978)
Len was on Radio Ulster last night talking about this and it was a joy to hear a couple of those old tracks of himself & Joe singing together.
Does anyone here actually remember meeting Joe or hearing him sing?
Cheers
Dick
