Subject: RE: Mick Brooks
I have only known Mick for 5 or so years, but as Lynne said, "he's always treated me as an old friend" - Amazing !
I heard of his sad passing from a friend at Saturday's Megabops ceilidh, and in a way it was the right place to hear. I could go out there and dance my socks off, just as Mick would have wanted.

I saw him at Wallingford this year and he looked SO well, it was great. I decided just to talk to him about what we were both doing and enjoying that weekend, rather than 'how he was' etc, and that's the way he seemed to want it too. He just lived for the moment, didn't he, always busy, always laughing, always welcoming... Very inspiring & relevant.

I shall remember him fondly, looking as well as he did last time I saw him, and dressed up ready to play for the wonderful buxom belly dancers on the seafront at Swanage.

I too would be grateful to hear the funeral arrangements please,
Love to family & friends,
Tiger Jane
