  • Description

    These two 1975 LPs were recorded in the north of Ireland by Neil Wayne and Lyn Murfin, and offer rare examples of northern Irish music and song, from three giants of the north Derry tradition.

    Eddie Butcher (1900 –1980) was born in Magilligan, Co Derry, and influenced younger singers like Paul Brady and Andy Irvine.

    This CD includes local tradition-bearers Joe Holmes & Len Graham who joined the 1975 sessions at Eddie's home that gave rise to the two Free Reed LPs of fine and rare Ulster song and music now re-released here.
