The transcriptions of Liam`s songs are much appreciated. I have just spent a very pleasant afternoon with Nellie and Shay Weldon listening to recordings made in Liams memory for ballyfermot community radio.

I am at present collecting information about Liams life with a view to preparing a short biographical publication. I got to know Liam while working in the library service where Liam was always very supportive of work with children and young people and in promoting traditional music and community arts through the library service, especially through his involvement with the ballyfermot arts festival. I would be grateful to hear from anyone with particular memories or anecdotes about Liam which they would be willing to share for this proposed publication.

I was an irregular attender of Liam's sessions in Taylors Hall and Mother Redcaps tavern up to the time of his death, but sadly never heard him singing live as his health was in decline during the years I got to know him best. However, the recordings of "The Blue Tar Road" and "Black Horse on the Wind" made my hair stand on end when I heard them for the first time in the Music Archive.
