My sympathies and condolences to his family, and his friends and fans the world over. He was a gentle man and a true gentleman. Some 40 years ago, when I first knew him, he graced the Irish music scene in Houston, Texas, and guided and inspired so many amateur and pro musicians who have kept the music in their hearts and souls the rest of their lives. Rest in peace old friend.

I am saddened to hear the news about Olcan. He made my first trip back to Ireland as an adult (and photographer) so memorable, that I have been coming back regularly ever since. I am not sure I would ever be able to visit Co Mayo and not think of him. He will be missed by many - thinking of his friends and family from way across the Atlantic.
