	Ernest Lough (Boy Soprano)
		Ernest Arthur Lough was born on November 11th 1911 and entered the choir of the Temple Church in 1923.
		One of Lough's records, I will sing of Thy great Mercies O Lord was never issued at the time due to the fact that his voice had broken before a track for the reverse of the disc could be recorded.
		Lough never let his fame go to his head and like so many other Temple boys, he always attributed his success to his mentor and Choirmaster, the legendary ‘Doctor’ as Sir George Thalben-Ball was known.

	Boys of the Lough - PopMatters Concert Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Boys of the Lough are a rare example of longevity in the world of Celtic music.
		In spite of their lineup changes, the Boy of the Lough retain their spark, an originality in sound that is immediately identifiable, and their humor -- Groucho Marx himself would have been proud of such absurdity, such clever language play, such vocal slapstick.
		Whether reviving "Farewell Lovely Nancy", a song which appeared on the Boys' second album and again as a newer version on their latest, or giving a new interpretation of the night visiting song, "I Drew My Ship", there is a melancholy freshness to his vocals which leaves you craving more.

	Boys of the Lough - what the reviewers said
		The Boys of the Lough closed the show with a set of Shetland jigs that brought people stamping and cheering to their feet.
		The Boys display a deep confidence in the music itself and the courage to aim for intimacy in a vast space...the Boys have all the qualities needed to be still playing long after other groups have faded into distant memory.
		Boys of the Lough only had to set one foot on the stage to conquer the whole audience.

	Killin Festival - Boys Of the lough
		Well the Boys did neither, choosing to rely on the youth policy and bring off the bench a young and comparatively unknown fiddler Iain MacFarlane from Glenfinnan and give the more-than capacity crowd an evening to remember.
		Not having seen the Boys in action since John Coaxkley left, my immediate impression is of the drive generated by guitarist Newman.
		Cathal is described as knowing Riverdance when it was only a trickle; Christy and Chris duet superbly as the rest of the boys go off 'to have their blood changed' and Ian comes back to steal the show with a couple of Glenfinnan tunes.

	The Boys of the Lough
		I'm aware that this is very much a blue-in-the-face argument and that changes of this sort have always been a feature of the Boys' playing and that you can hear the same sort of thing on many other recordings.
		The Boys are certainly good here, most especially in the tight ensemble of flute and fiddle.
		I can't think what the Boys were doing after this with three Irish reels, The Old Torn Petticoat (a 'slow reel'), The Humours of Ballinahinch and The Longford Reel.

	"Future Shoes" by Michael Finley
		What I said was this: that the reason the Boys, and all the musicians, introduce each song by referring to whom they got it from, what old record, or acquaintance, or recollection -- irrelevant information to most of us -- is that this is what the business is about, passing knowledge forward to the future.
		And by passing the hat, that is how we do the same thing, keep the music alive for our kids, and with luck, for their kids, and theirs.
		The Boys of the Lough in my house, seemed to baptize it for future use.

		With guitarist Malcolm Stitt and the accordion of Brendan Begley now firmly cementing the Boys sound, Dave Richardson (concertina/mandoline) and Cathal McConnell (flute/vocals) are once again at the forefront of their profession.
		Proving the old adage that if a tune is worth re-visiting then do it, Dave’s own often covered ‘Calliope House’ coupled with the delicate ‘Brother Gildas’ provides the listener with aural pleasure from the fruity sounds of the cello to the gently strummed guitar.
		It is here that I must admit to enjoying the Boys more when they subtly envelop the listener without the use of turning up the speed control.
