Slán Abhaile, Larry Cunningham!

In Loving Memory of

Larry Cunningham (1938-2012)
Born: Clooneen, Mullinalaghta, Longford Ireland - (Carpenter)
Irish country music singer with The Mighty Avons and many other Irish showbands
Years active: 1961-2012



Our hearts and prayers go out to Cunningham Family on the passing of their loving brother, husband, father and grandfather Larry Cunningham. Before he began his music career, Larry left school at age 16 and moved to Derby, England to find work as a carpenter. By day he worked on building sites, while at night and on weekends, Larry pursued his passion for traditional music and Gaelic football.

In February 1972, Larry married Beatrice Nannery and they had four children and two grandchildren together. Following a long period of illness, Larry passed away on Friday, 28 September 2012 - he was 74. He is survived by his wife Beatrice, his daughters Regina and Sinead, sons Lorcan and Barry, and grandchildren Molly and Peter.

God rest your soul, Larry, the music world is a little dimmer for your passing!

Slán Abhaile, Larry!
