John Vincent (Vince) Power

John, Thank-you for all the joy you brought to us all of a certain age memories laughter music bands at your Mean Fiddler Club in Harlesden. Sunday afternoon music sessions in the 80's the best of my young life and my friends, your kindness when i nearly fainted in the heat of the club so packed making sure i was alright along with my friends. May you rest in peace and God bless your beautiful soul.

Condolences to all his children ,grandchildren and great grand child
And his loving partners and all his relatives esp. Chris
A wonderful send off for a Man who gave so much to the people he met in life
So glad I got to spend time with you lately
Rest in Power now Vince
You have done well X

Great memories of his venues and concert promotions especially the Mean Fiddler Harlesden many nights a week and always on a Sunday morning. He gave opportunities to many RIP Vince

Sincere sympathy to the immediate & wider family circle.

Anyone that knew him always spoke of all he did for young up and coming Irish musicians. He never forgot his roots .
To me he was THE MAN that brought a music festival to Tramore called FLeAdH Mór . The biggest music legends descended on our town. The likes we will never see again . Memories embedded in our minds forever.
He was a friend of my father’s so he made sure me and my mates got in for free . God be good to him ! Bed of heaven to him x

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Vince. I first met him at the Fleadh in Randalls Island in New York and then in Finsbury Park, or the other way around. He treated me very well, even after I was going at it alone without the major record label. He really was one of the good ones. I played at Nell’s, Fiddler and the Liverpool Fleadh. All great memories. I’m so sorry I couldn’t attend the funeral. Sending my sincere condolences and gratitude to all of Vince’s family and friends. X Mundy

A legendary Waterford man who never forget his roots from humble stock. Rest easy now VB your work on earth is done.

Goodbye Vince.

It was always a pleasure to be in your company and hear your stories about all the musicians and bands you booked, which brought so much pleasure, to so many people. Your warm nature, passion and good taste in music were exceptional.

Condolences to all your family. You will be missed greatly by so many.

Remembering Vince and his late brother Sonny when they had the furniture shop in Kilburn London in the 1970's ,and Vince's Mean Fiddler music venue in Harlesden where I enjoyed many a great night!
Rest in Peace Vince.

Sincere condolences on Vince's passing. He was a kind and gentle man, unafraid of taking risks with an ability to bounce back.May he rest in peace.

So sad to learn of the untimely death of Vince. He was our landlord in Cricklewood in the early 70’s,when I shared a flat with Sheila,(Kerry)& Mary (Sligo). He was only a young man himself making his way in London. We had many chats with him when we came through his furniture shop to our flat in the evenings. He always had a listening ear & gave us good advice, a father figure to many I’m sure too in London.
A shrewd, hard working, enterprising & courageous man. Always positive & he leaves a great legacy.. what wonderful achievements he had.
Sincere condolences to his 8 children & their mothers, to his sisters & brother Chris, to his nephew Jack who was very close him, to his niece Fiona & all extended families.
May you now rest in eternal peace Vince & thanks for the Music .

Sincere condolences to Vince’s family and friends.

Rest in peace my sweet friend.
Forever in my heart.

Sincere condolences to all the Power family on hearing of the sad passing of Vince. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

May the melodies carry you gently onward…Slán agus Beannacht Dé leat.

To all Vince’s family, deepest sympathy on your profound loss. RIP

I was very homesick on arrival in London in 1985 but was really helped by Vince. I was a young lad away from rural Ireland in a big city where i knew no one. Vince introduced me to fellow Irish people and I soon made friends and felt at home. He did so much for the Irish in England and its right that his spirit returns home to the land of his birth. Power by name and power by nature. Rest in Peace Vince. London will miss you too. PJ

Deepest sympathy to Vince's children sisters Mai Sadie Margo brother Chris nephew Jack niece Fiona & all family members .May Vince rest in peace. Sheila Devane & family Co.Kerry.

Rest in Peace Vince, I remember you as a gentleman whom I had the pleasure of knowing when I worked in the Roman Way Pub in Kilburn High Road in the Eighties. A true Gentleman, respectful and kind with a great sense of humour but most of all, Humble and you never forgot your roots of which you were so proud. God bless you and most of all your Family who grieve for you. Noreen

Sincere sympathy to all Vince's family and relatives - we are all grateful for his pride in Waterford. Ar dheis Dé go raibh sé. RIP

Sincere sympathies to the Power family on the sad passing of Vince. His contribution to Tramore Racecourse will not be forgotten.

It is sad moment for the Irish to learn of the passing of one great fellow Irishman. During his financial demise Vince gave an interview to a UK newspaper. Asked what he felt was his biggest loss out of all his assets that the banks snatched back on him he replied along the lines - “I was born in a small village in Southern Ireland called Kilmacthomas outside Waterford in a small two up two down cottage where every field was our toilet. My mother left me that cottage. The loss of my mother’s cottage weighed most heavily on me”. These words have stuck with me - as will the passing of this individual.

Sorry to hear of Vinces passing condolences to mave and all the power family i knew vince for many year's an absolute gentleman r.i.p 🙏

Sincere sympathy to vince family and friends may he rest in peace.

Rip Vince, you were an inspiration to all music fans, locally and internationally, thanks for the music and memories.

To Mai, Sadie and all the extended Power Family, so sorry for your loss.

Our Deepest condolences to all the family on the passing of Vince, a true friend, Vince thank you for the great memories and the time for a chat, Vince rest in peace, you will always be remembered. Music and racing will be at a great loss.

Vince never forgot his roots and from humble beginnings rose to the heights of Irish music entertainment in London. He provided a means for Irish people to meet and enjoy themselves away from home. Those were great times when live music and sessions mattered more than mobile phones and Netflix. Thanks Vince for all you did for the Irish and its fitting that your funeral takes place around St Patrick's Day! Rest In Peace back in your native land.

Sincere sympathy to all the family.
Vince was a very loyal and kind friend. May he rest in peace.
