Dan was honoured to have been asked to perform at a Memorial Mass for a very special lady who has left us. Maureen O’ Hara, the internationally renowned Hollywood Actress has passed away in the USA in late October 2015 at the rip old age of 95 years.
Maureen’s home for many years was in beautiful Glengarriff in West Cork and her home was sold just recently.
A Memorial Mass was organised by the people of Glengarriff to honour the terrific life of one of their adopted daughters. The mass took place on Saturday 31st October 2015 at 12 noon at the Sacred Heart Church in Glengarriff.
Dan was kindly asked to perform for the mass where he travelled a musical journey, fitting to that of Maureen’s colourful life. Dan performed many songs associated with Maureen’s career and life in general such as ‘The Isle of Innisfree’, ‘An Irish Lullaby’, ‘I’ll Take You Home Again Kathleen’ and much more.
Here is a photo of Dan after the mass performance with his accompanist on the day, the very talented Annabel Adams, positioned beside a stunning portrait of Maureen O’ Hara:
