Everyone at Guildhall Press is deeply saddened at the loss of our great friend and colleague Hugh Gallagher. Hugh was a gifted photographer and writer and gladly contributed to our output over many years. The only reward he sought was to see his work shared with the people of his beloved Derry and the wider world. We are proud to have celebrated his unique creativity in his own books - A View of Derry and The Toucan Venturer. Your humour, generosity of spirit and kindness will always be fondly remembered, Hugh. RIP.

Patsy Durnin
Everyone at Guildhall Press is deeply saddened at the passing of our friend and colleague Patsy Durnin. Patsy contributed his wide knowledge of Derry and its history to our work for many years and we are proud to have helped him produce his acclaimed books on Tillies and From Factory Floor to Dance Floor with Willie Deery. We always enjoyed Patsy’s sense of fun and love of music and appreciated his very personal dedication to preserving the memories of all those involved in the shirt industry down the decades. Patsy had an energy and enthusiasm for life beyond his years. He will be greatly missed. We extend our condolences to his family and loved ones on this difficult day.
