Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Liberty Boy (Edward Nevin)
Dear ALL,

As one of the grand daughters of Edward Nevin, I know he would be very honoured to know that you have so much interest in the song that he wrote back in the seventies. He was a man who was born in the heart of the liberties (1910)and was really proud of it. He passed away in 1997 but is remembered very fondly by us all. I am very proud to be related to such a fine and kind man and hope that his song will continue to be remembered so fondly. Last night Brendan Grace was a guest on the Ryan Tubridy show and they showed a clip of him singing the Liberty Boy. I can tell you it brought back some very happy memories of my grandfather Edward.

Thank you all for your very kind word about his song.

His grand daughter Niamh
