Banbury Festival will miss him greatly but Derek and I will miss him more! A great friend, always there, reliable, funny, so huggy, solid as a rock and true. Thanks Col for helping make our festival what it is and looking after the artists.

Derek and I thought it strange when he wasn't there when we arrived at Fylde - just knew something must be wrong! We sang "The Outside Track" for him on the beach behind the Marine Hall... He would have liked that.

Yes Noreen, Colin Kemp's Sleeping Area will be there to remember him by at Banbury.

Derek and I will be coming up for the funeral and we will also be bringing Liz Carlile, who is with me as I write.

Thoughts fom Liz: Colin, You gave me many big bear hugs, much kindness and time in my need after Peter's death. I will miss you. Say hello to Peter in the big Folk Festival in the sky.
