2023 In Memoriam Thread

Watched some of Shane’s funeral, including this great rendition of Fairytale of New York by Glen Hansard, Lisa O’Neill, the Pogues etc. If you like Irish music go see Lisa when you can, she is amazing live.

Have to say Lisa O Neill sang Kirsty’s part as well as Kirsty. That was just terrific!

She was due to play the festival either this year or last but pulled out quite late on, as I recall. I looked her up as somebody I wasn't aware of, and this one just blew me away.

Steve Wright!! 

 

I hate it especially when they are younger than me

Which is becoming increasingly common

RIP Steve Wright…grew up listening to him.

 

Only 69 - no report of an illness so must have been something out of the blue. 

[Avalon_Fields]

Shocking. I listened to him regularly years ago.

Sad news, a broadcasting legend.

Every time I see in memorandum bumped up I say to myself "oh god, who now?" Mum loved Steve Wright in the afternoon! Sometimes think it would be nice to have an Oscar type in memorandum video in between a pyramid act so we could cheer them off!

Could you not simply change the name so it has no year?  Might save the need to have a new thread each year.....

Ignore my daft post just realised we have a 2024 thread too.
