Sadly, we said goodbye to a longtime member of our MMS family last week, Fearghal Morgan (pictured here on the night of our 2024 MMS Soul Sisters show).
He was a gifted musician, classically trained, playing violin in orchestras in his younger life before embracing his love of all things traditional. Oh, and he was a beautiful bass singer to boot, adding confidence and stability to tricky arrangements over the years. You always knew you didn't have to worry about Fearghal learning his homework or producing on the big night.
Our hearts go out to his wife and MMS Alto, Fionnuala, and all of her and Fearghal's family. MMS certainly will never be the same without him - not just his wonderful singing and playing music, but his fantastic personality: he was always ready to have the craic, always greeting everyone with a great big smile. He was a perfect Fear an Tí for our after-show singsongs - he always made sure that everyone was included, and it was impossible to say no to him. And his own contributions were legendary, even his rendition of...ahem...Chicken on a Raft! 🎶
Fearghal received a fantastic sendoff with a beautiful service last Thursday, which he himself would have loved - so many relatives and friends included in so many ways, so typical of the man himself.
So, rest easy, Fearghal. We will miss you.
