Jack Roche Remembered: A Young Artist’s Tribute Lights Up Bruach na Carraige

October 3rd was a very special night in Bruach na Carraige as the community came together to unveil a stunning portrait of our beloved friend, Jack Roche. This beautiful work of art was commissioned by a local, young artist David MacAodh.

This act of creativity is not only a tribute to the man Jack was, a celebration of Jack’s enduring legacy, but also a living continuation of what he himself valued most: young people carrying forward the flame of tradition. So it is indeed very fitting that a young, local artist has used his talents to produce this masterpiece.

To David MacAodh we say thank you. Thank you for using your gifts to keep Jack’s spirit alive. May your art inspire others just as Jack inspired so many. We are simply in awe of your amazing work .
