James C Macphee

“A recital of Gaelic songs by James MacPhee did not consist entirely of 'traditional’ (that is old) songs, but we heard how tradition is carried on, with composers and singers sweetly in the succession, in their love for homely, kindly things… The 'mouth music,’ with its suggestion of the pipes, shows again the semi-hypnotic values which I commented on lately, in songs from far countries.”
W R Anderson Wireless Notes The Musical Times July 1935 p 610
