In the afternoon of October 2, the Glengarry Pub in Redfern rang to the strains of sea shanties and folk songs – as it hadn’t done for a decade – when friends gathered to remember Len Neary. Len was known for his inspirational singing, his keen gentle spirit and cool dry wit. He presided over many nights of songs at folk clubs, parties and sessions, introducing hundreds of people to live folk music, for which they are eternally grateful, and through him, many found their own singing voice.
