Frank Conway of Tarbet bunkhouse



A few hardy Challengers passing through Tarbet in North Morar will have met Frank Conway.

Sadly, Frank has died, after a short illness.

I found a piece of music, written for Frank by Hamish Napier that you may enjoy:

"SLOW AIR: Father Frank Conway of Tarbet"

That's very sad.
Meeting Frank was one of the many highlights of our first day back in 2012.

Re: Frank Conway of Tarbet bunkhouse

Spent a lovely day with Frank in early march, and stayed the night in the bunk house. It was a very memorable stay. The stories he told were funny and fascinating, and the world was all the richer with his presence. God bless .

Re: Frank Conway of Tarbet bunkhouse

We shall not see his like again. And his music was wondrous.

Humph

That particular piece of music was actually composed on Frank's harmonium in the Chapel at Tarbet by Hamish Napier, who stayed with his band, with Frank.
