Robbie Gray

Robbie Gray's manuscripts were handed down to Davy Gray. The manuscripts were offered to me by Davy's close friend John McAdam in 1997.

Robbie Gray initially went to Jimmy Ward to learn the fiddle. In 1930 he taught his brother Davy, who was 8 years younger, to play by learning the rudiments of written music.
