Farewell to my dear old friend Diz. Diz and I joined forces in the early 1960's touring Colleges and Folkclubs and appearing on several TV Diary programmes and Radio. Diz held me responsible for his entry to the Folkscene where he worked successfully for several years prior to teaming up with Grappelli. Diz was a great guy to work with, a superb guitarist and his humour and repartee was unsurpassed. He was almost a resident performer at my Surbiton & Kingston Folkcub where his performances always received tumultuous applause. I have countless recollections of memorable experiences wih Diz both in the UK and in Spain.In 1968 he introduced me to my late wife Hazel and for that I shall be forever grateful.
