Do you remember this man? For over twenty years, Gbenga Adewusi has remained largely silent in the face of countless allegations and controversies. Instead of issuing lengthy explanations, his response has largely been videos of himself travelling around the world or singing prayerful Christian songs. Love him or dislike...

This is a day when words grow heavy. For what we feel goes beyond ordinary pain; What we experience surpasses ordinary mourning. In these days, we stand in silence filled with prayer. Our Holy Patriarch, His Holiness and Beatitude Ilia II, has gone to be with the Lord bringing with him his labor and his works. We, his people, his flock, his spiritual children, are his works. The Lord sent him to us as one man, and he returns with an entire nation - so visibly, so united, so unified, as has been revealed in these solemn days. We are the generation of the Patriarch. We are witnesses to a unique event, when an entire nation is spiritually united around one person; When every active clergyman in Georgia has been ordained with his blessing; When nearly all Christians in Georgia have been baptized with his blessing. The present state, character, and form of our two-thousand-year-old Church have been shaped by him. His Holiness and Beatitude became that firm link for our nation and Church that connected our past to the present, and the present to the future, in an apocalyptic era of godlessness and nihilism. Truly, we have witnessed a miracle from God - the Georgian Church, risen from the ashes and shaped by him alone anew, with his own hands. He was able to do this because he understood what mattered most. In today’s world, many values compete for primacy - freedom, equality, solidarity, justice. His Holiness and Beatitude gave each its proper place, but taught us the most important truth: freedom, equality, and all other things lose their meaning if they are not grounded in the highest value - love. We had a Patriarch of love, whose tireless preaching embodied it. Through his life, he became an example of how one can love all: one’s own and strangers, friends and enemies, the righteous and sinners. He accomplished the impossible - as a Christian, he fulfilled the law of Christ; as a monk, he kept his vows; as a Patriarch, he bore the heaviest cross of his nation. His earthly journey has ended, but love remains - his love for us, which in these days the whole nation has returned with gratitude. This was his main dream: to see his nation united in the Church of Christ. He accomplished this. And thus he has entered the presence of the Lord - righteous and full of grace. It is we, his generation - those who lived with him, saw him, felt his grace, and bear witness to his greatness. But his story does not end here. After us, once again, his generation will continue the path - the generation of his godchildren, our children, who carry his name, his blessing, and his grace. In this way, he built a bridge across time and bound our nation together. “Great are You, O Lord, and wondrous are Your works.” May the memory of our Patriarch be eternal! May his prayers and intercession protect all of Georgia!

I wouldn’t normally use Twitter for anything non-football related but just wanted to share the video below of Glen Hansard in The Spirit Store in February just gone – not singing, as so many people enjoyed over the years, but supporting. I had the pleasure of seeing Glen in ‘The Store’ in its early days and while he had gone onto much bigger things over the years, he never forgot grassroots Irish music, its venues and supporting those on the way up, including the likes of Dundalk’s own David Keenan and that night, Rowan Murphy. That was a practice that had continued with the likes of Josh O’Keeffe more recently but there were countless others who he helped shine a spotlight on. February’s gig – one of several he played around then with The Frames in some of the country’s best small venues – felt like a celebration of The Spirit Store and if Mark or Derek could have picked a performer for such an occasion there was arguably no better headliner for it than Glen, who was also a huge support to the likes of Women’s Aid in Dundalk over the years. There are probably countless small stories of his generosity, including arguably being one of the main driving forces behind the Christmas Busk on Grafton Street, to the point that whether you were into his music or not it was hard not to appreciate all he did for the industry here. He was in many ways the godfather of Irish music – supporting it at home and abroad and giving so much back in return. He was truly one of a kind. A ‘Star, star’ that really shone. Sympathy to Glen’s family and friends in the music industry. His legacy is enormous and his support was invaluable. RIP.
