PETER KEENAN R.I.P
Peter Keenan R.I.P. maSamba member Peter Keenan passed away yesterday after a long battle with cancer. His family were with him at the end. Peter has always been an inspiration to us both in terms of his playing and his positive attitude to life, undimmed by many years in what is a cut throat industry. He will be sorely missed. As yet, details of the removal and burial have to be arranged. If you need information, email Simeon at simeonsamba@gmail.com
Gigs!

    On the 22nd of july 2007 Peter Keenan passed away.He was a great teacher and a brilliant friend! Thanks for all the drumming Peter! Rest in peace!

    Peter Keenan.

    Such a shame to see you go
    Our thoughts and tears are with you though
    We’ll never forget your funny ways
    We’ll always remember the good aul days

    You may be gone and free of pain
    And the snare drum will never be played the same
    But our memories of you will live on
    Until the day that we are too gone

    You are a new member of that place we call home
    And I’m sure up there you won’t feel alone
    You’ll be kept busy from winter til summer
    Cos we’re sure God’s samba band will need a new drummer

    As the day passes, the day we all feard
    We’ll think of you and that great whitish beard!!
    Our thoughts and prayers we will send
    Cos Peter we’ll miss you, you were a good friend.



    Peter – Rest in Peace

    For a full blog, go to www.masamba.com. MaSamba Samba School is Ireland's premier Afro Brasilian music and dance collective. The group was created on the huge wave of enthusiasm following the 1994 Big Bang Festival at the City Arts Centre. Initially the group was set up as a team-building exercise for the staff of the arts centre, but demands for performances and workshops soon saw the group becoming independent and working in partnership with the City Arts Centre on numerous projects until the Centre closed the doors on their Moss Street premises. MaSamba has always had an open-door policy of encouraging those with little or no previous drumming experience to attend our weekly community workshops, as well as maintaining a semi-professional performance group which is available to play a wide range of events. We also have a highly successful youth wing maSamba do Mananha (maSamba of tomorrow), which has played at festivals and events throughout the country, recently travelling to Yorkshire and Belfast, as well as producing a CD of their own work in late 2004.

    Yes I had heard about Peter, but only when it was said during the parade coverage. Came as a bit of a shock to me.

    He was a great man, always genuine, helpful, friendly and pleasant - that's the way I'll remember him.

    hehe thanks for the offer :D

    I'm a past member of masamba - don't have the time nowadays to keep up with my drumming (a bit of guitar at home is as much as I manage! ) but I have a passing interest.

    Pass on my best wishes to everyone who remembers me (Simeon anyways - not too sure who else is still there!)
