Originally published in 1973. Folk-life and folk-culture, usually
the preserve of the scholar, have been brought vividly and
entertainingly to life in these recollections and stories of one
man's life in the Irish countryside. This book tells the life story
of John Maguire, who died in 1975, including over 50 of the songs
he sang, with full musical transcriptions. He was a fine singer,
firmly within the Irish tradition, and his songs are the record of
a people, their history and traditions, their joys and sufferings,
their comedies and tragedies. John Maguire's fascinating story,
skilfully and unobtrusively collated by Robin Morton, is full of
material that will interest singers and students of folksongs. His
songs and music will be of value to all those interested in
traditional music and song.
