When The Artwoods played at our club in Grimsby Jon Lord, and the rest of the group, was always friendly. On holiday in London in 1967 a friend and I went to see them at the 100 Club. In the Blue Posts we were greeted warmly and went to the gig as the band's guests. Jon told me that it was 10 years to the day that he arrived in London to 'make his fortune'. I never met him again but I'm sorry to hear of the passing of such a gifted gentleman.
RIP Jon.
