Sir, – With great sadness, I learned of the death of the excellent singer-songwriter and one of our own, Johnny McEvoy. I had the pleasure of attending many of his concerts over the years. One of his many terrific compositions was The Town I Left Behind in tribute to his hometown, Banagher. Rest in peace, John, and thanks for the memories. – Yours, etc,

TOM GILSENAN,

Dublin 9.
