Subject: RE: Obituary - Nick Strutt 29 Sept.- funeral 16 Oct
We have lived in Spain for the last 9 year so a bit out of touch and have only just found this thread and sadly learnt of Nick passing away last year. I have many fond memories of Nick from the 60's and enjoyed Nick and Roger's music many times.

The photos sent by Paul "the Prince George Hotel" Reade show Nick & Roger playing with the Jug & Bottle Washers Jug Band in a jam sesssion at the Whitby Folk Festival in 67 or 68. Nice of Tyke to think I was Mark Knoffler its the haircut! I also have photos taken at the same event which show Jon Rennard busking with the Jug BAND on the pier. Jon Rennard also sadly passed away in 1971

Nick's passing is a great loss to music. My memories of Nick are from the 60's & 70's when I remember his humour and smiley face and determination to live life in his own way.
