A few years after Aidan’s murder, Aidan’s sister Eilish asked renowned singer and songwriter Gerry Cunningham of ‘More Power to Your Elbow’ to write and record a song in Aidan’s memory. Gerry came up with ‘The Ballad of Aidan McAnespie’.
The song accurately tells the story of Aidan’s death and is known across the whole world now, regularly sung at all sorts of events including by hundreds of Celtic FC supporters at their matches. This has been a massive source of joy and comfort to the McAnespie family throughout the years.
We appreciate all that Gerry has done for the family in raising awareness of Aidan’s story and to the many many people who continue to sing Aidan’s ballad.
