Tributes pour in for young Irish musician Rainy Boy Sleep

The body of musician Stevie Martin, who performed under the name Rainy Boy Sleep, was found this weekend.

Martin, 29, had been reported missing three weeks ago, and searches for him had intensified in the last couple of days.

The Derry musician, originally from Lifford, had been very popular on the Irish circuit, and many of his fans and fellow musicians have taken to Twitter and Facebook today to pay their respects to Stevie.

James Vincent McMorrow described the young man as "a life gone too soon."
