Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Cllr Lilian Seenoi Barr hosted the Paddy Tyre Tribute Concert on Thursday evening in Derry's Guildhall. Reflecting on the event, Mayor Barr said: “What an incredible night we had at the Guildhall celebrating the life of Paddy Tyre. The room was filled with love, laughter, and music, just as Paddy would have wanted. “Paddy’s kindness, generosity, and love for his family and community touched everyone he met. We honoured his legacy by raising funds for two causes close to his heart: The BUD Club, supporting young people with additional needs; and Foyle Down Syndrome Trust. "Paddy was surely smiling down on us at his tribute concert, guitar in hand and his signature grin. Thank you to Paddy’s family, the performers and everyone who helped to make this night so special for all those who knew and loved Paddy.” Pictured with the Mayor are Paddy's wife Evelyn, Kirtsy Hamill, grand daughter and daughters, Rosin Hamill and Aoife McCourt with Paddy's grand children Zara Hamill and Tiernan McCourt.
