Gabby McFarland died in Nov. 2021. https://rip.ie/death-notice/gabie-mac-farland-derry-city-derry/513148. Gabby wasn't well known, but would have sung at sessions/song circles, sometimes solo and sometimes with her husband and/or children. Husband Jim McFarland is well-known in Irish and British traditional singing circles. I see there are some Mudcat threads announcing dates he was performing in folk clubs in England; in 2008, 2011, 2013, and 2018. I've heard him once on zoom since Gabby's demise.
