As another one of his children is delivered by white wings.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. We had the pleasure of meeting with Jim in Limerick many years ago. Such a nice person. Spent time to chat with us before and after the show. Mam had told us he was a second/third cousin to us. They had a great chat talking about all the family and who was who. His music will always be remembered.

Like many other musicians, I met Jim through music. Working with him in the Old Sheiling Hotel Raheny, The Wexford Inn, and the Lower Deck, Portabello, each wednesday night for a number of years. Jim was an amazing artist, singer, musician, and a gentleman. He had a great sense of humour and always a kind word. Thank you for your friendship Jim through all those years, you will be sadly missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Phil and your family at this very difficult time.

My sincere condolences+

Oh Lord, just hold him in your arms and let the moment linger, forever.

RIP Jim my condolences go to all of your family at this very sad time. Jim was an absolute gentleman and a very funny one too....no one could tell a story like him...i really hope he got to write them down and that book he spoke about does appear one day...of course he could really sing too! ....I missed his visits when i wasn't working with him any more so i can't imagine how sad his family must feel...but boy i'd say they are having fun in heaven...let the party begin...Jim was certainly one of the greats and will be greatly missed.

God bless, Jim, and from us, thanks for the memories......xx

deepest sympathy to jims family..

A lovely musician and the best company you could fall into. Sadly missed.

Speak their Name

some one I love has gone away
And life is not the same
The greatest gift that you can give
Is just to speek their name
I need to hear the stories
And the tales of days gone by
I need for you to understand
These memories must last
We cannot make memories
Since they are no longer here
So when you speek of them to me
Its Music to my ear

Rest in peace Jim there will be some great sessions in the sky with the rest of the music legends that have passed away Think of all the McCann family at this sad time :(

Our sincerest condolences to Phyl and the McCann family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. RIP Jim.

What sad news to hear about my old friend's passing. Although I knew Jim well throughout the years, having shared the same management stable with my band The Cotton Mill Boys, I had the distinct pleasure of working closely with Jim in the eighties. He asked me to perform with him during his solo career when he was searching for a replacement musician - this turned into an eight-month gig. Not only was a he a gifted singer and musician, but he was one of the nicest and finest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting in the music industry. A multi-talented and lovable guy - my deepest condolences go to his wife, Phyl, and his family. We have a lost a true gem from Irish society - we will miss him greatly.

Sincere sympathy to all of Jim's family on this sad occasion. Please God Jim has found his beautiful sweet voice again and is now singing in Heaven. May he rest in peace.

Sleep tight. U were amaseing singer.u will forever be singing in the sky rip jim

Rest in peace, Jim. We never met, but you were a great singer and guitarist. My condolences to your family and friends.
