Roderick: I am afraid this news is recent. I was in touch with Fred Flensborough over the weekend. Laurence Glaister is with Phil already and Moti is on his way tomorrow. I heard about Phil's heart surgery from Colin Wilkie about eighteen months ago. He came out of that OK, but this time the news is not so good. I hope his remaining time is as painless can be and I know he will be glad to have his busking mates around him.
