A talented Laois musician has issued an appeal over a lost flute
David Vesey lost the hugely sentimental flute on public transport
Talented Laois musician David Vesey has issued an online appeal after losing his flute in Dublin.
Well known for his classical performances in Laois and around the country, David said the flute has “huge sentimental value” to him.
In a post on social media on Wednesday, February 12 he said: “I have lost my flute, either on a Dublin Bus or on an Irish Rail / Enterprise service from Belfast to Dublin earlier today. I took the Enterprise train from Belfast to Dublin at 12pm.
I was travelling on an E1 / E2 Dublin Bus to Stillorgan from D'Olier Street at 2.30pm approx, and travelled back to the city centre from Stillorgan at approx 8pm.
I attach some images similar to my flute case.
My flute case has a gold Meitheal Irish Trad Music Summer School sticker on one side and a Pipers Cross Céili Band sticker, along with a sticker of my name and my phone number on the front.
This flute is of huge sentimental value to me and I will offer a reward for the safe return of my flute. I would appreciate it if you could share this with anyone you may know with Irish Rail / Translink / Dublin Bus.”
He thanked the public for assisting him in looking for the flute.
