It's wonderful to read all the above messages which show the love and respect in which Nick was held.
I first met Strutto back in 1965 at Romford Folk Club where he was part of a trio with Janet Kerr and Les Western. Over the years we were always in touch and Pete Stanley and I often played with him and Roger Knowles at gigs and on radio. Around 1980 we formed duo and travelled around quite a bit both here and on the continent. We only made one album together "Last Train South" which is a pity. In later years he often came and stayed with my family and was a great favourite at my local "The Hop Pole" in Beeston, Notts. It's always difficult to put thoughts into words at a time like this but I shall miss him always. Our thoughts and love are with his family at this time.
Till we meet again my dear friend RIP.
