Hi Dave, yes, my grandma was from Newtownards, Northern Ireland. I did a piece on her father five years ago. He was a founding member of the Baptist church that still preaches the gospel there. Grandma was famous for singing, I remember doing this recording with her when I was somewhere between 12 and 14. We did it on an old reel to reel tape recorder and thought we had lost the tapes until my sisters discovered them a couple of months ago. We have a few more tapes to go through, maybe we’ll find more gems on them… no idea what’s on the tapes. Mostly just weird kid stuff!!!

Maranatha!
