TRIBUTES have been paid to Kevin Beale from Douglas – writer of the well-known and popular song The Bandon Car – who died unexpectedly last Saturday.
Singer Jimmy Crowley, who recorded the song, said Kevin was a composer of many marvellous ballads and was ‘a great performer too.’ The song was a witty tale about a feared Bandon patrol car.
‘Kevin left us on Saturday, Hope you have a marvellous ballad session in Paradise, old pal. Rest in peace Kevin,’ said Jimmy.
