Ashling Murphy R.I.P.

Post by Steampacket »

Heard yesterday of the shocking death of Tullamore traditional musician and teacher Ashling Murphy. My condolences to her family and friends.

Tell us something.: You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Horrendous.

What a terrible and tragic loss for her family, friends, and community.

There’s no real justice served in cases like this, but hopefully the (actual) perpetrator will be found swiftly and removed from having access to the public, permanently.

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

Absolutely horrific.

I believe it's "Ashling", by the way. Unless somebody can show me otherwise, I'll correct the subject.

I've been following this story since the tragic murder of Ashling Murphy on 1-12-2022 and it is heart wrenching.
