We are sad to hear of the passing of Brian Dunning, a great friend of the museum. Dublin born, Brian was one of the first to blend both traditional Irish and jazz music.

He was one of the best flute players in the jazz world and will be greatly missed by the music industry and his family and friends. He was a lovely and friendly person – always with a great story to tell, on and off stage.

He recorded at Sun Studios in Temble Bar and at the famous Grouse Lodge residential recording studios many times.

May he rest in peace.
