Thanks for the nice comment. Dad knew Liam Breen, as did anyone with a passion for McCormack. Apparently Liam had a wonderful collection of McCormack memorabilia, including opera costumes and even one of Mac's concert suits. Cyril McCormack, John's son was by all accounts a generous man in donating such material. Where it all is now is anyone's guess. BTW - Athlone Castle is currently undergoing a major refurbishment and a new permanent McCormack exhibition is planned.
@JMCTV Lovely rendition and a talented man indeed - I'm sure you are very proud of him. Your father definitely understood what made McCormack great as it shows in his singing. The simpler you are the greater your voice will shine. Well done with your great channel and thanks. Like you, my father has passed the love of McCormack and also Bjorling on to me. I can remember as a child, after being scalped by the barber being brought to Liam Breen's shop in Capel St where my Dad bought all his 78s.
@JMCTV If anyone could provide me the contact details for Mr Peter or Martim Dwan I would appreciate it. There is indeed an exhibition planned in celebration of Count John McCormack and Peter would be very useful to speak to in relation to this.
A voice of no mean talent. You can be proud of your father. Many thanks for all your efforts to keep the unmatched brilliance of the great John McCormack still available to the music lovers of today.
