Subject: RE: Obit: Slats ('Streaky' Pete Hicks) meningitis
Since those days at the Railway in dartford and before that when the Crayfolk came to catford Rising Sun I've always thought and remembered of Pete singing the 'irish Rover' and my version uses his influences.

with talent he got more out of a song and thus became an entertiner with his natural wit and charm.

he was a sincere and decent fella

though i only met him again at dave Bryants wake at the Tudor he hadnt changed, he was and always had been a lovely character

he also got a small club in Eltham out of the shit when I ran it for 5 weeks to help get the chap who had ran his money back, which we did, than closed down.

thanks pete

What a great guy he was and will be always remembered as

What a   singer too
