18 Feb 07 - 01:01 PM (#1971689) Subject: RE: Obit: Dermot O'Reilly From: GEST We occasionally communicated with Dermot about his years with Ryan's Fancy (1970-1984) and the many songs the group popularized in Newfoundland. I will miss his inquiring mind. Here is the GEST archive page of Ryan's Fancy songs, some of which were Dermot's originals: http://wtv-zone.com/phyrst/audio/nfld/afancy.htm GEST Songs of Newfoundland and Labrador |

18 Feb 07 - 01:04 PM (#1971695) Subject: RE: Obit: Dermot O'Reilly From: CET This is very sad news. Dermot was one of my musical heroes. Ryan's Fancy, even more than the Clancy Brothers, were the force that introduced me to traditional music when I was in high school. They had a wonderful TV show, and the music was completely unlike anything you could hear anywhere else. Rest in peace. Edmund |

19 Feb 07 - 06:25 PM (#1972988) Subject: RE: Obit: Dermot O'Reilly From: DonMeixner When I lived in Auburn, NY I had CFC on my local cable. The hilites of my nights where watching the music shows on CBC. Ryan's Fancy and Tommy Makem and Ryan's Fancy and The Irish Rovers where favorites of mine. I also watched All Around The Circle and a few others. It was Ryan's Fancy that I would watch without fail. Dermot O'Reilly singing Tie Me Down will always be a good memory. I am sorry he is gone.

21 Feb 07 - 10:12 AM (#1974928) Subject: RE: Obit: Dermot O'Reilly From: GUEST,Glen Reid So sad to hear another old veteran of the trenches is gone. First met Dermot in 1968 when he was a part of Sullivan's Gypsies with Fergus and Don Sullivan, then later when i was assistant music director to Fred McKenna on Ryans Fancey show. He was always the musical force in any ensemble, be it his vocals and strong guitar, not to mention his stage presence. So long old friend. |
