What utter sad news today.

We just heard with great sadness of the death of our friend, promoter, manager and music business entrepreneur Derek Nally. Derek died as a result of a heart attack.

A gentleman.

A professional.

A tireless champion of  Irish talent.

Rest In Peace Derek, we enjoyed the chats and the laughter.

Sympathies towards his family and close friends.

A very sad day in Irish Music.

Whelans just will not be the same without Derek in the crowd.

This is just so hard to believe,

Linda, Aoife & all the crew in GSPR.
