I just don't know what to say.

I first saw Harry about the time of Deep Lancashire. He did a guest spot at the Traveller's Rest in Ellesmere Port. I thought he was just so original, so unassuming and so inspiring. Saw him on and off at Whitby and such places.

When we moved to Manchester in '78 we went to the Unicorn and met amongst many others Chris Cole, Gorton Morris, Gorton tank but most of all Harry and Lesley and much enjoyed the Unicorn.

The saddest and most moving was Southern Cemetery and the Southern Hotel when Harry left us.

Great, Great man, great family, great legacy. So many songs and which one would we choose to sing for him tomorrow?
