RIP Keith O'Hanlon of The Disconauts

We are incredibly saddened to hear of the passing of Keith O’Hanlon this week, one of Ireland’s finest DJs for many years.

As one half of Galway’s The Disconauts, Keith was known nationally as one of the best house and disco DJs around for well over 20 years.

There will be a removal on Monday 15th October to St. Joseph’s Church, Presentation Road, Galway to arrive for Requiem Mass at 11.00 a.m. Funeral afterwards to the New Cemetery, Bohermore. Death Notice.

Here are some of his and Disconauts mixes in his honour.
