 Sam O’Doherty, from Country Tipperary, a 3-row diatonic accordionist and singer, passed away on March 23rd at the age of 70. Sam was a popular entertainer who played for dancing in Ireland since the 1970s, and in the 1970s performed extensively in the USA and Canada, where he was known as “The man from the Glen”. He also worked with the singer Nick McCarthy as the duo ‘Mac & O’, performing concerts and making recordings.He was greatly respected by his contemporaries, and his wake at his local pub Nellies in Bansha, a village in County Tipperary, was very appropriately a mighty music session involving fellow accordionists Dermot Lyons, Peter Burke, and many more. He is survived by his wife Kate, sons Shane and Sammy, daughters Kay, Saine, Samantha and Aisling, sons-in-law, partners, grandchildren, brother Thomas, sister Teresa, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, nephew, nieces, relatives and friends. |
