I never realised he was born in England! Shane never hid his affinity for London - having been born in Kent and lived in London during some of his formative years - in songs like Transmetropolitan, London Girl, Rainy Night in Soho and Misty Morning, Albert Bridge. Like any good songwriter you write about what you know and being London Irish that's exactly what Shane did. Shane's sister Siobhan gave the most beautiful eulogy to her brother recalling their close bonds and experiences growing up together in London, and their visits to family in County Tipperary filled with music, songs and storytelling. If you missed watching the whole service I hope that Siobhan's eulogy will appear online as it is the most beautiful and loving tribute that, personally speaking, had this old fart lump-in-throat and close to tears. Slainte Shane for all the songs you gave to the world! Found the eulogy.
