With a frank and perceptive pen Father MacEwan traces his double career as singer and as priest. He recalls with nostalgia the warm humanity of Glasgow tenement life, the bitter poverty. Yet the feeling of pride and the sense of achievement.
One day there came the realisation that he had been gifted with a golden voice. Music lovers will follow with interest the story of how that voice came to command international recognition.
For many, the author’s account of his life as a priest in Glasgow and the Highlands will provide a glimpse of a tale rarely told.
There is an appendix which includes a list of songs recorded by Fr MacEwan from 1934 to 1973. His most famous recording was Queen of the May – Bring Flowers of the Rarest.
