Declan, guitar player and singer, died suddenly at the weekend. He was a regular on Mudcat for a number of years, as "Declan". A gentle man and a gentleman, he will be missed by many.

Ar dheia Dé go raibh a anam uasal.

I heard this just this morning. I used to meet up with Declan nearly every year at the Willie Clancy week, and was in sessions with him just 3 weeks ago. I'm very sad to hear this news, and know several people in Scotland who will miss him too. Willie Week won't be the same without him. A fine singer with a great, mischievous sense of humour.
RIP, Declan.

He was a lovely unassuming gentle soul. You never knew where he was going to show up, Sidmouth, Warwick, Shrewsbury. Sad news indeed!
