Thread Name: Tony Murphy: does anyone recognize this name?
Subject: RE: Tony Murphy: does anyone recognize this name?
Hi everyone, it's lovely to read all these comments. Tony was my uncle and my introduction to the world of folk. He took me to Spinners' concerts when I was young, then when I was old enough to Loughborough Folk Festival (1977!) he also took me to my first Watersons concert- what an experience that was!
His funeral was quiet but nice, as these things can be. We came into 'Johnny Todd' (theme from Z Cars) which is better known to Blues fans as 'Up the Toffees'. Naturally 'The Orange and the Green' was played, much to the amusement of the priest.
I've enjoyed reading your memories of my Uncle Tony- thank you.
