Sadly, Chris passed away yesterday. He had a sudden brain haemorrhage. He was known on mudcat as Phot, and had a passion for landrovers, photography and his canal boat, amongst other things. I believe funeral information will be shared on the Middle Bar Singers facebook page, when available.

A much loved and respected friend.

Phot's Mudcat posts

His last post was a few months ago, in which he invited people to view what he had been up to on Diary of a Herbert on YouTube.

So sorry to hear this news: far too young to pass way yet.

I believe he has not posted for some time but I wanted to let you know that Chris Wenham (Phot) passed away on Monday 10 January.
He had a spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage on Sunday and despite the best efforts of many people from our wonderful NHS he did not make it.
When it occurred, he was putting together the Lego space shuttle that we had just got for his birthday which would have been on Tuesday.
He just said ‘I feel a bit dizzy’ and that was it. I have been reassured by the doctors that it was so quick that he would have felt no pain and I was holding both his hands when he went down so he was not alone.
I will
Finally be able to speak to the funeral director tomorrow to start making arrangements so will share here.
There will be an opportunity to attend via Live Stream so I will provide the link when I have it.

Sad news. I was sorry to read this. My condolences go to his family and friends and all those who love and miss him. I have added his name to the "In Memoriam" thread. RIP.

I heard about this last night at a sing-around. Quite a shock. I hadn't seen Chris for a few years (last time was in the Middle Bar), but he and I went back to our Rydon Spring Rapper days and a few folk festivals as well over the years.
RIP my friend and I will always remember your sunny disposition and the passion with which you lived your life.

Even if it happened a while ago, it's a fresh shock when first learning of the death of a friend. My condolences. :-(
