The death of Brian Prior was a severe blow to the Irish traditional<br />
music movement. Brian was a much loved and iconic figure in<br />
<strong>Comhaltas</strong>. It was he who led the regeneration of the branch music<br />
session. He was an inspiration for all who had the good fortune<br />
to know him. He was dedicated, generous and selfless – one of<br />
nature’s gentlemen.<br />
Brian has left an important cultural legacy in the hugely popular<br />
Foinn Séisiún booklets and CD’s. It was typical of his resolute<br />
character that even in the midst of his illness he was already<br />
working on the next publication in the series.<br />
To Ann and family we express our deepest sympathy and heartfelt<br />
admiration for the man we were proud to call friend.<br />
