Simon paid a lovely tribute to him tonight before dedicating Meet on the Ledge to him.

Donal Lunny 😞 The mainstay of a huge amount of Irish folk music for the past 60 years after his work as a musician in bands like Planxty and moving hearts, as an accompanist with the likes of Christy Moore and a producer for umpteen artists and acts I read that he was the first Irish musician to adopt he bouzouki tuning that changed folk. |

Oh sh*t. He was frail last year or so, but still didn't expect it.
Although he was never the frontman, he was (IMHO) the most influential person in Irish trad/folk music since the 1960s Bands like Planxty and Moving Hearts, as a companion to Christy Moore...] And Sweeney's men, Emmet Spiceland, the Bothy Band, Mozaik, etc. A classic memory from 1973...https://youtu.be/JyP407UnUWw?is=vN_DFDUtM4FePAUc - see his big grin after the switch at 2.35ish, RIP |

Tony Iommi's new album From the Dark. It's extraordinarily strong.
If you're even remotely attracted to metal, especially Dio era Sabs and early Bruce Maiden, do give it a listen. Highly recommended. |

According to a couple of things I have seen on Facebook, Donal Lunny has left us.
 Edit: Here's an article from The Irish Times: https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/music/2026/10/23/tributes-paid-to-musician-donal-lunny-after-his-death-aged-79/ |
