Her energy every weekend over the number of years behind the decks was unmatched – she didn’t just play songs, she created moments that we all have together with memories stitched into our hearts forever.
“Though her absence leaves a silence that we, as a community can feel, her legacy echos in every beat we dance to and every smile she put on our faces.

“Our deepest sympathies go out to Kayleigh’s mum Aileen, sister Shauna, fiancé Brandon, son’s Michael, Connor & Paudi and Kayleigh’s entire circle of family & friends. May you rest in eternal peace Kayleigh 🪽💛”.
