GUEST,Paul Slater, Derby Gaol Folk Club	Obit: Johnny Collins (6 July 2009) (419* d)	RE: Obit: JOHNNY COLLINS 5 July 2009	07 Jul 09
A really devastating piece of news! Jim and Johnny have been my folk heroes for years. I returned to the folk scene in the mid eighties and was quite depressed with the way folk had changed since the sixties. I was ready to seek pleasures in pastures new until one night Jim and Johnny appeared at Peasmouldia Club, Station Inn, Derby. They did it for me! Every song, every shanty a gem. Bought all the LP's and went to as many festivals as possible where they appeared knowing it would be a 'good un'. To be in a shanty session led by John was the closest I'll ever get to heaven on this earth. Wherever he is now I hope I can go there when my time comes and once again hear him 'Make The Rafters Roar' Sincere condolences to Joyce and Jim.
