Very, very sad to hear the news. I haven't made it to the club recently, but warmly remember my times there, and particularly the warmth and friendship of Richard and Jean. They are truly some of my favourite people.

Personally one of my favourite songs he did was "Her father didn't like me anyway", and I always looked forward to all of his performances, and indeed just chatting with him.

He will be sadly missed. My deepest sympathy to Jean and Lisa, and all his friends who have had the pleasure of knowing him a lot longer than me.
