He was fee'd at Brandon's Fair (a local hiring fair) to a farm at Deskford and for his first six months as a halflin he received, over and above his keep, four pounds for his pay. For the second half of the year the pay was raised to the princely sum of five guineas. After some years of farm work, he began a life of travel which took him the length of Britain from Shetland to the Channel Isles - and over to Ireland and Canada. In 1. 95. 1 he was 'discovered' by Alan Lomax who was on one of his first collecting trips to Scotland. Jimmy's repertoire included a wide range of traditional songs of the area, but he was particularly famed for his renditions of comic songs and bothy ballads. The bothy ballad, with its direct sentiment, realistic humour and, on occasion, bitter irony, is to many the typical song of North- east Scotland. In his latter years Jimmy Mac. Beath, who died on 6th January 1. During the 1. 96. Scottish folk clubs and I remember several magnificent nights in the Star Hotel in St Andrews - on one occasion when he was joint guest with the great Aberdeen ballad singer Jeannie Robertson and most of the resident singer/ organisers of the Aberdeen Folk Club. In his younger days on the farms life was hard, the hours long, and the food and conditions often little better than that of the farm animals. Only the close- knit community life, the homemade entertainment, and the resilience of the human spirit made such an existence bearable. The meanness of some of the farmers with both food and money made matters worse: ! Very tight wi the food! Some farms were very good wi the food again. But it was slavery days all the same. You workit the whole six months before you got any money at all. Oh they wouldn't work that way now, no, no. His army career, some of it in the RAMC took him to England, Ireland and Egypt as well as France. During the depression he was obliged to go on the road where his singing talent, developed in farm bothies and army barrack rooms, stood him in good stead, supplementing the spasmodic wages of seasonal labour. Despite all his wanderings Jimmy remained a North- Easter at heart, always returning to his native district. In the summer of 1. Hamish Henderson, who had recently joined Edinburgh University's School of Scottish Studies, and Alan Lomax, the American folklorist, found Jimmy in Elgin and brought to our notice one of Britain's finest traditional singers and one of the major influences on the Scottish folk song revival.

The song has since been recorded by several singers and folk bands including Jim Reid's fine version with the Foundry Bar Band on Foundry Bar Band and a recent recording on a Battlefield Band album Battlefield Band: Across the Borders. Jimmy was also famed for his singing of one of the finest of the 'serious' bothy ballads (in the Greig- Duncan Folk Song Collection: GD 4. The Hairst o Rettie - a song that tells of the men bringing in the harvest on the farm of Rettie just along the coast from Jimmy's birthplace at Portsoy in Banffshire. This famous song tells of the change over from the scythe to the back delivery reaper, which took place in a big way in the middle 1. Jock Duncan, who has recorded the song on his album, Jock Duncan: Ye Shine Whar Ye Stan!, remembers coming across Jimmy singing the song outside the beer tent at the Oldmeldrum games when it was revived after the war in 1.

By Peter Shepherd: www. In the twenties, he tramped the length and breadth of Scotland, and further, with his close companion and musician Davie Stewart with whom he would form a friendship that lasted the rest of their lives.
