Mr Eddy Murphy
Eddy Murphy who's tragic death has been announced,taught music for many years,to many former pupils at the old Sacred Heart School.In his time there, he was musical director of school productions and will be greatly missed.He also provided music for cabaret artists in St Peters Social Club in South Bank.I remember when he played for a singer, who was the lead singer for the Joe Loss Orchestra,Ross McManus. He mentioned during his act, that his son had started to make a name for himself, in show business.He said his name was Elvis Costello, who went on to great fame.When I booked the Apollo Choir to perform in the Sacred Heart School, to raise funds for St Albans Church, Mr Murphy demonstrated to the secretary of the Apollo,who had come to test the acoustics, that the piano was fully tuned, by playing a variety of tunes 'off the cuff' and he proved very talented.His Requiem Mass will be on Thursday 8th January in the Sacred Heart Church at 9.30am.RIP. |
