I, among many I'm sure, was very, very sorry to see this on the RTE Radio 1 site.

Singer Frank Harte dies aged 72

27 June 2005 19:51
The renowned Dublin singer and record maker Frank Harte has died at the age of 72.

Born in Chapelizod, he was well known for his rendition of songs and produced a book on 'Dublin Street Songs'.

Mr Harte, a retired architect, was also a great collector of songs, from Dublin and Northern Ireland.

He also has a string of recordings to his name, most notably 'Through Dublin City', 'Daybreak', 'A Candle End' and his most recent production about the famine entitled 'Great Hunger'.

Mr Harte had a particular fondness for the late 18th Century French leader Napoleon Bonaparte, and wrote a number of songs about him.
