Henry, who was born in the Yarrow Valley, has farmed all his life, mainly at Howahill near Bonchester Bridge.  Very active in the Border common ridings he was Official Hawick Common Riding Song Singer from 1985 - 2000.  He cites the late Willie Scott as his great friend and mentor.  Jimmy Nagle dedicated one of his finest fiddle tunes to Henry ("Henry's Air").  One of our finest and best loved borders entertainers.
One of the Borders' finest singers
