Harold Herrington, Irish Rogue, Passed away 03/03/13
I have some sad news to pass along and also to all of you.
My good friend and fellow Irish Rogue member Harold Herrington passed away on Mar. 3.
We had a service and a wake for him on Wednesday Mar. 6 and sent him off right.
Some of you may remember Harold as the banjo player, along with John Hodgins and myself who comprised the Irish Rogues for some years. John was in attendance and did some tunes with us at the wake.
Please feel free to pass this info to whoever might have known Harold. He'll be missed.
Thanks all,
Red McWilliams
Herrington, Harold Howard Age 77, of Rowlett, TX, died on March 03, 2013. Service 2pm, Weds., March 6, 2013 at Rest Haven Funeral Home-Rowlett Chapel.
When John retired in 2012, he left the rich legacy of the Irish pub music traditions with Earnie Taftand David Sparks. They immediately teamed up withSteve Harrison who provides an amazing array of instrumental skills and singing to not only continue the pub music style of music, but to begin building the band to win over a whole new generation of folk into the Celtic music traditions found throughout the world.
The Irish Pub music experience is to have fun with all forms of music that has a full spectrum of emotion. The Irish Rogues make music fun.
From time to time, theKelticDead (Shaun - Patrick Young) joins us with his diatonic harmonicas in his Celtic-style of play.
