About This Episode

Episode 57 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 12.19 p.m. to 5.19
p.m. - one year ago today exactly. These memories are presented in
the chronological order in which they were recorded, interweaved with
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
