Obituary: Michael Coady, accomplished musician, teacher and poet ‘of unsung lives and destinies’
Music was a constant thread in Michael Coady's life
Michael Coady, who has died aged 84, was a highly accomplished artist, writer, teacher and musician whose work was inspired by Waterford’s Suir Valley and the Three Sisters river catchment where he was born and reared.
Flowing water “refreshes the mind and spirit “ and “I can’t imagine a town without a river”, he said in the 1986 RTÉ TV documentary I Live Here on his deep connection with his native Carrick-on-Suir, Co Tipperary.
