Lee McFarland is Tale Time's musician and sound engineer. Lee writes, records and produces the musical accompaniments to all Tale Time's stories as well as writing the Tale Time story songs. When not doing that, Lee teaches guitar to the next generation of Northern Irish rock legends and supports them at various gigs and events. His work with the Music Yard is both a pleasure and a privilege. And yes, if you haven't clocked the surname, Lee is married to Vicky and they have a son, who is tortured with Lee's constant guitar playing and singing.
