The folks on the hill will miss Sean's impersonations as will many across Northern Ireland.

Sean Crummey, political satirist who was best known for his television and radio show "the Folks on the Hill" died yesterday, I would like to extend my sympathies to Sean Crummey's families and friends. Sean was one of Northern Ireland's most popular and admired comics.

He helped moved Northern Ireland forward by encouraging politicians to laugh at themselves. He will be missed by all the folks on the hill who he impersonated in his shows.
