Eamonn O'Rourke
Eamonn passed away in July 2003. Eamonn had been a familiar face on the Dublin ballad scene for many years. In addition to his time with the Jolly Beggarmen, he also played with Moonshine and (his last) 2 years with Patsy Watchcorn. He had spent time in Canada and his brother, Dennis, was a member of the Barleycorn. Eamonn died of cancer and was only in his 50s.
