Obit: Seamus Creagh R.I.P.[/B]

_______
This from the 'Mudcat' site:
Very sad, only just saw him in fine fettle at 'The Gathering' Festival in Kilarney only 3 weeks ago!

I said Seamus was in fine fettle at Killarney -but just this very minute speaking to Jackie Daly who said he was actually very ill and putting on a very brave face, he had been suffering with cancer for a couple of years.

He had a huge turnout at his funeral, all (or most) of his musician friends gave Seamus a great sendoff.

Boy, am I glad I went to Killarney - just in time!

Is that a copy and paste a thread from another forum to here? Its hard to discern your post.

Yes, sorry , it's a bit jumbled up because I had to edit it to get it all in the cut & pasting. Click on the relevant blue bits like 'mudcat'.

I've tidied up your thread as best I can.
It is not acceptable to just copy and paste threads. Start a new discussion with your own content next time.

Was away for a few weeks when Seamus died. Fine fiddle player, only met him the once years ago but his album Came the Dawn is a great example of his musicianship.

I was very interested that Seamus got a worthy mention on BBC Radio4 this morn:
