I'm going to miss this Northener....
From www.johnmartyn.com
I know that many of you would have liked to have attended the service
to pay your respects but feel sure that you will understand that this
wasn't possible.
However here is a very brief summary of the service and I sincerely
hope that you will find this comforting.
"A service to celebrate John's life took place at St. Mary's Church,
Kells, County Kilkenny on 1st February 2009. The service was conducted
by The Reverend JP Kavanagh and was attended by John's family and
close friends.
Pall Bearers were Arran Ahmun, Spencer Cozens, Alan Thomson, Foster
Patterson, George MacCallum, Flavio Bellin, John Hillarby, Jimmy
McKnight, Roy Corkill and Paul O' Byrne. Martin Winnings played Body
and Soul on saxophone as John was brought into the church.
Mary Moore sang the traditional song The Sally Gardens (an old
favourite of John's) accompanied on guitar by Alec Finn as life
symbols were brought forward by family and friends in memory of John.
Flavio Bellin read from the Buddhist Sacred Text and Reverend JP
Kavanagh from the Holy Gospel according to John.
Personal tributes were made by Spencer Cozens, Teresa Walsh, George
MacCallum, Alan Thomson, John Hillarby, Billy Carroll, Reggie Hastings
and John's dearest old friend Danny Thompson.
Alan Thomson, Arran Ahmun, Spencer Cozens, Foster Patterson and Martin
Winnings read prayers. During the service music was played; My
Creator, Over The Rainbow and Over The Hill.
As John was carried from the church (a church with one bell) May You
Never was sung by all."
