RINGO


Artist: McDermott, John


An event to remember
If you're flipping TV channels on Remembrance Day, don't be surprised to see Toronto tenor John McDermott performing at the U.S. ceremony in Washington D.C.

McDermott, who's sold about one million copies of his traditional Celtic albums over the last four years, has been asked to sing at the Vietnam War memorial on Nov. 11 (approx. 12:30-1 p.m.), and he couldn't be more thrilled.

McDermott's love for his wedding song
From her family to yours, 58-year-old Newfoundland housewife Madeline Thomson has written a beautiful wedding song from the viewpoint of her husband as he gives away his daughter. The lyric so touched Toronto-based tenor John McDermott that he recorded it for his latest EP, Daughter Of Mine, so titled after the track.

"Madeline is just this sweet lovely lady who has lived life and decided to put personal experience into a lyric," says McDermott. "It's just talking about the process of life from when (her daughter) was a child to where she is now. It just came off so naturally and so beautifully."
