Celebrating the life and career of
Ireland’s greatest tenor
Welcome to the Josef Locke tribute site, celebrating the enduring legacy of one
of the world's greatest tenors. For over five decades he brought joy to millions,
and on the way had a grand and eventful life. The world is the poorer for his
passing, but so much the richer for his having shared his great talent, and zest
for life. We'll hear his song forever.
On Tuesday, March 22,
