The songs sung by Count John McCormack
Distinction is lent to this feature on Tom Moore , the great Irish poet, by the fact that some of his melodies, which have so often been broadcast, will be sung by a great living Irishman, Count John McCormack. Listeners will hear, for instance, the air known as 'The Little Red Fox ' played as it appears in Bunting's collection as a quick dance tune, and then sung in slow time, with the dignity of a slow march, to Moore's setting to his own words ' Let Erin remember the days of old '—and sung by the man whose singing of simple songs has charmed the world.

He has been heard on the air in his play The Corn is Green and twice in We Are Not Alone. In June this year he broadcast a striking performance in I Was Hitler's Prisoner, and not very long ago gave a talk on the feelings of a Welshman who lives and works in England.
