About
On Sunday 17 October 2021 a memorial service was held in the Unitarian Church on St. Stephen's Green, Dublin. This was to remember and celebrate the life and music of accordion player Tony Mac Mahon, who passed away the previous week. The service was attended by family, friends, President Micheal D. Higgns and many from the traditional music community. The event was live-streamed and recorded by ITMA and can be watched here.
Photographer Colm Keating was asked by ITMA to take photographs at the service, and at the gathering afterwards in The Teacher's Club, Parnell Square. The selection below are just a sample of the photographs he took on the day. The are many more available in the ITMA collections.
With thanks to Colm Keating for his permission to reproduce these images online.
