Farewell Moya - Thank you for your music, voice, presence - rest in peace

 

On her own funeral - songs from her past years..

Lots of Irish classics

Lots of Gaelic

Perfect Time..

Sober - small - no class acts - just memories - remembrances - and the music.

The Voice of Ireland is no longer amongst us..

 

Yesterday, the dreadfull news of Moya Brennans passing has shooked my day, my world.. 

I read the news on the facebook page of ENYA (of all people) she died surrounded by her family in Ireland. I'm still a bit shocked, and sad.. It's like loosing a relative, that's the feeling right now..

I was thinking about her quite a lot, cos I love listening to her harp songs and inspiring A. on her very own harp. I was really hopefull she would come back on a tour to Belgium/the Netherlands.. Too bad.. Now it's like some part of me (my early years when as a teen) had literally died with her.. No more warm feelings about concerts en meeting up afters.. it's only a memory away. 

The service will be on friday and even broadcasted online. I would love to see it too. Too pay some kind of respect online for this gorgous, beautiful woman. Who learned me to love harp, Irish Gaelic and in the end even Ireland.. I met her a couple of times in the 00'.. And everytime she was so kind, polite, interested, engaged, so, so so so talented.. actually words cannot describe everything about her... Even spotted me in the crowd (on the first row - next to the ultimate fan back in the day) 

She will be missed, luckely she will be remembered forever, not only by her fantastic repertoire of music, (as well solo as her Clannad years or the many many collaborations with various kinds of people)  her incredible and never-ending (musical) talent or being member of the most wellknown family of Ireland.. but for her kind, beautiful soul and ever - engaging self. 

Seeing everyone for who he/she really is. 

Thank You for the music Moya Brennan. Thank you.
