And just after the passing of Micheal O’Suilleabhain, the sad news of the death of another giant of Irish music.
Alec Finn has passed away aged 74 (I was amazed he was that old). I’m deeply sad about this, a wonderful musician with a wonderful contribution to the cultural life of his country.

Ah no.
I’m genuinely sad over that. I met him once before a hurling league game back a few years back in Killarney v Kerry when TJ Ryan was over Limerick.
He chatted away with us amicably and was very courteous. Was he in his 70’s or even 80’s? Real iconic voice of GAA.
That clip when he gets tied up in knots over Beyoncé. 
RIP.

Google says he was 77
Did Weeshie have a show band program on radio Kerry late night every Saturday up until recently? RIP was great commentator for the Kerry games.

Weeshie has been in poor health for some time, hasn’t been on the radio for some time. Sad news all the same. A nice man.
