GUEST,Mark Gregory Obit: Teesside - Tinker Dick Aug 2014 (22) RE: Obit: Teesside - Tinker Dick 21 Aug 14

This is such sad news. I remember him turning up at my house unannounced in the 80's to introduce himself to me and tell me all about the Musicians Collective, when I was running me fanzine. Just knocked on the door bustled in and asked me to get the kettle on! Used to call me 'Big G' and our kid... 'Big Buzz'!

Legend nights at the Zetland and Philmores ensued, used to go down Saltburn on his bike in any weather to put them gigs on. One night at the Zetland, there was about 2 foot of snow, and he still biked it down to put the gig on for about 10 people who managed to turn up!

RIP Dick, you will be sorely missed. But I'm sure you'll be treat in 'em to a few tunes up there!
