I got to know Bill Stephens (okthen) through this forum and in the few years I knew him we became good friends.He was very genourous, some of my most treasured possions are the DVD's and CD's he burnt for me before I had the technology and I know he did a few for people on here. His knowledge about the folk scene was pretty exstensive and he told many stories about his time at Colchester folk club in the 70's.He was also a talented founder with many of his bronzes still on display.
The last time I saw Bill he was more worried about giving me his tickets to a concert that he knew he wasn't going to make than about his own health. He was a genuine good guy,a great family man and a sad loss here.He loved this place and was always talking about who he had been in touch with. It dosn't seem possible that he's been gone over two years.
