Mariachi music often conjures images of jubilation or romance. Yet in truth, performers say, the music is just as adept at accompanying the depths of anguish.

After the Uvalde shooting, dozens of mariachi musicians traveled there to provide solace. https://t.co/rL5wU61V5r

Nobody should die in poverty, but that is the case for 90,000 people in the UK every year.

❗️Today Marie Curie is launching ground-breaking new research that reveals the scale of poverty at the end of life in the UK for the first time.

New @fontainesdublin song inspired by legal case of a woman initially blocked from honouring her Mum with Irish phrase on her gravestone -
"The first thing we did was to stand at my mum's grave and play it to her and listen to it for the first time at that special place."🎶

[BBC News Entertainment @BBCNewsEnts]

"That means a lot more to me than any Grammy nomination."

How a song by @fontainesdublin helped a grieving family to heal.

'Many were appalled by the macabre display, describing it as 'weird,' 'disturbing' and 'disrespectful'. 
Others, however, defended having Morrow's body up on stage, saying it was what his family wanted.'

"Calix also hated music being presented as something only certain people could experience and understand. “What I want to do more than anything is remove the barrier that says: ‘I don’t get this’.”

This was very hard to write today. I hope it gets across the person so many people knew and loved, and introduces her to the people who could have come to know her in the future. Love to you, mira, always. xxx https://t.co/F2DZLIYdgV

And this is what well planned #bereavementsupport looks like. My daughter's teacher checked with her in advance what she'd like to do for #MothersDay2022, liaised with me about what she was planning & then helped my daughter make the card that she wanted. Absolutely perfect ❤
