I too received the email this morning.
I am so very sad to read this, Johnny has been a good friend for forty years,one of the best entertainers we have seen and as the years went on his voice was stronger and more powerful.

We will follow his example and remember all the good times and all the happiness and laughter he has given us!

Do you remeber John when you played Headcorn Folk Club in the 70's and , as usual, stayed with Derek and I, In the morning you were woken by our three year old daughter sitting on your shoulders trying to prise your eyes open and demanding " how did you get out of our television?" We used to watch you on Play School and I always wondered if you would slip into the wrong version of the Nursary rhymes but you always kept those for the folk clubs!

Happy Days xxxxx
Wendy and Bill
