    Anna’s daughter Lily sings lead vocal here. The McGarrigle Hour is one of my desert island records, also perfect for driving alone at night.

      Birgit,
      I think I knew that but had forgotten-thanks! It has been a while since I last played the McGarrigles so this is long overdue..

        Somewhat neglected or never quite there ? Critical acclaim wasn’t matched by commercial recognition and I never quite got why Kate and Anna were not gigantic. Oh well, love the post and like even better the idea of Birgit driving through the Ruhr Valley late at night listing to the McGarrigles.

        Pisser about Dortmund Birgit but your imagery was perfect today

        My Dear Hedley,
        I think they garnered far more recognition in Canada than here, but I agree. They should have been gigantic.
