Goodbye, John: you truly were a ground-breaking and enchanting singer and muso. Sincere condolences and big loving hugs and Nicole and Emma. I watched the images and photos in John's funeral today, and it was very clear that he and Nicole had a wonderful and loving bond.

Cloudstreet played Llantrisant Folk Club several times, and the audience gave John, Nicole and newest member Emma a great Welsh welcome. This European tour was their last; John was diagnosed with terminal cancer. In Wales, all we are left with are some wonderful memories and some great friendships. So long, mate.
