Subject: Obit: Seán Corcoran (Cran) 2nd May 2021 From: GUEST,John Moulden Date: 04 May 21 - 12:11 PM It is with shock and sadness that I have to report the death after a short illness, of Seán Corcoran, singer and musician, collector, lecturer, festival organiser, probably best known for his membership of Cran - mostly with Desi Wilkinson and Ronan Browne. Seán was an enthusiast from his schooldays, an innovator and a catalyst. He had been living in England for a time, and, like the rest of us, publicly inactive during the pandemic. There will be longer tributes but it should be said he was a hero of traditional music and song, and one of our giants. |

This article gives a good idea of Seán;s accomplishmentsL https://journalofmusic.com/news/rip-singer-and-collector-sean-corcoran |

Subject: RE: Obit: Seán Corcoran (Cran) 2nd May 2021 From: Waddon Pete Date: 04 Jun 21 - 10:51 AM I missed this thread until it was brought to my attention by Felipa and Peter Laban. The links provided give a good picture of Sean and his accomplishments in folklore, music and research. I have added his name to the "In Memoriam" thread and send belated condolences to all who know and love him. |
Subject: RE: Obit: Seán Corcoran (Cran) 2nd May 2021 From: GUEST,Paddy McEvoy Date: 18 Aug 21 - 11:24 AM Seán, Mick Moloney and I, the 'Rakish Paddies' ran the '95' Folk Club on Harcourt Street Dublin in the mid-60s. Seán's deep knowledge and love of folk song and all that lay behind it just flowed out of him. It was a privilege to know that man. |
