Today, 3tynespodcast pays tribute to the Tynedale songwriter and singer, Terry Conway. Terry died of mesothelioma in 2013 and he is sorely missed by his fellow musicians in the North East, who regard him as a writer of great warmth and wit with a distinctive vocal style.

This is a shortened episode that includes two of Terry’s most famous songs, Hawkhope Hill and Fareweel Regality. There is a longer version that features ten songs in full.

The episode is introduced by Vic Gammon, who reflects on Terry’s reputation amongst his peers. I then chat to the musician Liz Conway, who talks about her time with Terry, his philosophy of life and his music.

Terry and Liz recorded several albums together and I’ve listed these in the show notes, together with a link to a site where you can buy them.
