BRENDAN BOWYER

Shocked to learn of Brendans passing. The best singer by far of the showband era. His voice was too good really for the ballrooms. He could have reached way beyond them. However we were blessed to have danced to the music and stood in awe and appreciation when he sang the big balleds. As I watched his funeral mass and listened to his singing of Going Home i was once again transported to the the ballroom of romance when he entertained us with his powerful voice and his energetic performances always with such dignity and respect for himself and his audience. Thank you Brendan for the music and may you rest with your loved ones in the loving arms of your God. To Stella, Brendan jnr, Clodagh, Ashlinn,Liam and Nora and the extended family I offer my sincere sympathy.

A belated sympathy to his wife and family. He was truly a wonderful man, brilliant singer and a humble person. We will all miss him greatly.

When I was 9 in 1963 I wrote to Brendan asking him for his autograph, he not only sent me his autograph but also sent me postcards from all over the world when he toured. He called twice to see me and my family in Bray and even introduced us to Stella. I remember him as a lovely gentleman who made a little girl feel very special. May his gentle soul rest in peace.
