Irish Funeral and Repatriation Singer London

“Do not be afraid, I am with you.” ❤️

Such comforting words, especially in the world we're living in today.

I first discovered this beautiful Catholic hymn, *You Are Mine* by David Haas, when I was asked to sing it at a funeral last year. Although I grew up in Dublin singing in churches, I'd never learned this particular hymn before. I thought the melody was beautiful, and the words have stayed with me ever since.

The message “Do not be afraid” is repeated throughout the Bible, reminding us that even in our most difficult moments, we are not alone.

There's an old saying, “To sing is to pray twice”, so I'd love you to sing along with me. The more voices joining together, the more prayers and positive thoughts we can send out into the world.

I hope this brings a little peace and comfort to anyone who needs it today, particularly those remembering someone they love.

You can watch and sing along to my full performance on my YouTube channel, **Ingrid Magee Singer**.

The song Lady of Knock is one of the most popular songs I sing at Funeral Masses for Irish families. It really is such a beautiful song and just so Irish. I love it. Recently, a short video I uploaded on my YouTube channel surged in views, making it to 10 thousand views. It may not sound a lot, but it means a lot to me. In these times when we are being told of so many things to worry about, singing hymns makes me feel so much better and I feel more protected. Here is a link if you would like a listen.

Samuel Barber’s beautiful Agnus Dei

The Agnus Dei (“Lamb of God”) forms part of the Catholic Mass and is a prayer for mercy and peace.

This is the opening soprano phrase, sung in one continuous breath — an extraordinary piece of sacred music with such a sense of stillness, reflection and peace.

A beautiful choice of music for a funeral or memorial service.

Music can create a moment of complete stillness...
My vocal interpretation of J.S. Bach’s beautiful "Air on the G String".
Classical music can be a lovely choice for a funeral or memorial service, particularly for moments of quiet reflection — and sometimes a melody sung simply by a solo voice can say more than words.
Alongside traditional Irish songs and Catholic hymns, I also sing classical and sacred repertoire for funerals, Requiem Masses and memorial services across London, Bexley, Sidcup and surrounding areas.

When people ask me to sing at a funeral for their family, I don't take it lightly. I feel like music is such a special part of all of our lives and it can move people to a place that cannot be seen. When somebody has passed, I feel like music can make the whole event so different-whether it be more sad, more tragic, more reminiscent, more accepting, peaceful..the list goes on. Some traditions believe that after death, the soul leaves the body through sound, for instance mantras, prayers, chanting, and in my own Irish culture, there was an ancient tradition of caoineadh, or ‘keening’ — a vocal lament for the dead. In fact "crying" in the Irish language is "ag caoineadh". So I believe everything that is said, sung or recited is important at a funeral. So when I get these messages it really makes me happy and grateful to have been a part of something so special. Thank you x 🙏 ,

☘️ BOSTON ROSE 🇮🇪🇺🇸

I was recently asked to sing “Boston Rose” at the funeral of an Irish lady who had made her life here in the UK.

It reminded me how much these old Irish songs mean to those who have left Ireland and made their homes elsewhere in the world — and to the generations of Irish families who came after them.

“Boston Rose” was made famous in Ireland by The Wolfe Tones, and for this recording I’m singing to Dan McCabe’s beautiful version of the song.

So I wanted to record it and share it, especially with the Irish community in Boston and Irish Americans who continue to carry such a strong connection to Ireland. 🇮🇪❤️🇺🇸

From one Irish voice to the Irish around the world. ☘️

A Very Irish Medley - Funeral Singer Sidcup & Bexley

I created this little medley for all of those people like myself who often long for home. I have become so much more in love with our culture, history and beliefs since I moved to the UK and music really brings me back. I hope you like some of these.

The Prayer - Funeral Singer Sidcup & Bexley

The Prayer is one of my favorite songs ever. I just think it is a perfect song. It is regularly requested for weddings and sometimes for funerals. The words can mean so many different things to different people. This was written by David Foster and lyricist Carole Bayer Sayer and made most famous by Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion. This is my solo version.
