Thread Name: Obituary - Nick Strutt (UK, 29 Sept.2009)
Subject: RE: Obituary - Nick Strutt 29 Sept. 2009
Fond early memories of Nick: he was a school friend at Palmer's School in Grays, Essex, and I came up to Leeds University more or less at his suggestion, though he was a scientist to my mind and I was into literature. The photo image of him that will stick with me is the one with Bob Pegg on the 1973 album cover. He was very good company, and I remember conversations with him about his whippets, having kids, music, the state of the world and booze. A wonderfully skilled and beautifully individual musician of course. Pity we weren't in touch more recently.
