Only heard the sad news today. I had some wonderful times with Brian - we first met at the Hale Road Labour Club in Walton 1970 and over the years did a few things together, notably playing at R.A.F. Sealand along with the Ian Campbell Folk Group. In the early 1980's we recorded a cassette together at Radio Merseyside. The tape was called " Trekatape " and it was an audio guide to Liverpool - way ahead of it's time !! I still have my copy which I treasure. On the night we recorded it the sound engineer was out on the Liverpool Coach bringing the team home after winning the European Cup ( lucky sods !! ) and while we waited for the engineer Brian suggested we go for a drink in the Eagle pub in Paradise Street - four hours later we went back to the studio and recorded the whole thing in one night. You can't really tell we'd had a few - honest. Lots of fond memories of the great man - my sympathy to all his family and friends.
