We are heartbroken at the news of the death of Dónal Lunny, one of the most talented, influential & innovative musicians of the Irish music scene over the past 60 years. Irish music is the better for his influence & part in it as a composer, musician and producer. Suaimhneas síoraí dá anam uasal. 🕊
