I for one will miss him, he was a regular to a local session
here on Teesside, was only playing and talking with him last week.

The world will be a drearier place without him, with his lighthearted but straight to the point banter!!
Personally I think he was definitely underrated as a singer/songwriter,
local clubs rarely gave him a guest spot, here is an interesting acticle you will find amusing....
