Gerard ‘Gerry’ Mulholland (Jarír al-Majar) Part 2: Funeral
Episode 15. This is the second part of a two part celebration of the life of Jarír al-Majar (Gerry Mulholland). It is a snapshot of memories recorded by some of the friends and family of Gerard Mulholland at the Rahoon Cemetery and Sliding Rock bar, Galway on Monday, 15 May from 12.19p.m. to 5.19p.m.
These memories are presented in the chronological order in which they were recorded, interweaved by recordings of Gerry from the internet. Thank you to everyone who shared their memories and who made recordings of Jarír’s music available on the internet as well as through private messages.
Huge thanks to all the Mulholland family for their blessing for this project to have been given the go ahead, and a special thanks to Breda, Gerard’s twin.
I worked closely with Breda to ensure that Gerard’s memory be treated with the utmost respect that it deserves. It was Breda's grace, dignity and compassion that has made this project a very special one for the memory of Jarír al-Majar.
A final word of appreciation to Jarír al-Majar. The ripples continue after the stone lands at the bottom of the water bed. You were, and continue to be, an inspiration.
ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّٰهِ. Alhamdulillah. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. May he rest in peace.
