Sorry to butt in on a sad subject but this is the only page that came up when I Googled "Carl Hamer". I was wondering if anyone knew where Carl was now? I used to live with him and his wife Helen in 1987 in Barnstaple and wanted to get in contact with them. Reply through Facebook: Emma Dunnage, australia.

While doing research on the internet I came across the news that Cliff had died some six years ago. I was stunned and saddened to read this. I met Cliff briefly a couple of times when he accompanied his brother Dave to motorcyle grasstrack meetings. I thought he was such a nice guy. This was in the late 60's early 70's when Cliff's career was probably at its peak but he was so unpretentious. Rest in Peace Cliff.

I do hope his family have come to terms with their loss and able to enjoy life once more.

Rosemary.

My late cousin, Sue, told me of Cliffs passing and of course we were both in shock. I met Dave, Cliff's bruv at my cousin's funeral and since then I just can't stop thinking of them both. God bless you. Remember many an evening at mum's with Cliff singing and always fag in the end of his guitar. I will always have these lovely memories Bev xx

I was the leader of a folk trio called Talisman. I'd been running folk clubs for some years and Cliff was always a favourite guest. He got us an introduction to Kevin Daly at Argo/Decca and this was the springboard to a long career. He went to great lengths to get us an audition - there was nothing in it for him. Just a great bloke. I guess he's still up there playing 'Bluesleeves'. Thanks for the memories Cliff.

'The Gun' in old town Croydon Such a lovely man. He used to come to our house in Limes Road with his brother Dave
I have only just found out about Cliff and my heart goes out to all his family. So many happy memories.

Just found this page after searching out old music friends. Very sad to see the passing of Cliff, I used to see him at the Wagon and Horses in Newbury back in the very early 70's and I might have even met him earlier at the Angel at Woolhampton (Berks).I was doing a lot of Tim Hardin stuff back then and we had to toss a coin who got to do "Lady came from Baltimore" great memories. Rest well.

I dont know if this thread still exists but for anyone interested Carl Hamer sadly passed away a decade ago.
I lived next door to Cal and his wife in Guineaford just outside of Barnstaple. Carl was great guy always happy and laughing.

Just caught up with this thread. My wife and myself ran the Croydon Folksong Club, first at the Grange in Thornton Heath, then at The Waddon in the mid- 1960's. We booked Cliff a number of times. He was a brilliant performer and a lovely man. Fondly remembered.

Just ran across this, very sad.

I met Cliff briefly in the early '70s, my friend Malcolm and I were motor mechanics at the time and cliff was one of Malcolms customers.
One night Malcolm got a phone call from Cliff at a gig in Leeds, his Cortina had broken down and we went up the M1 to see what could be done. Nothing as it turned out because the clutch was burned out so we towed him back to London; Malcolm, his girlfriend Joan, Gerry Lockran (also sadly gone), me and 2 guitars squeezed into an Anglia and Cliff, white-knucked and freezing in his Cortina trying not to run into the back of us as we towed him back down the M1! Makes me smile whenever I think of it.

Sadly missed, both Cliff and Gerry.

Saw Cliff once in a pub in Twickenham, think Ian Hunt was also playing, must have been 1975 sometime. He had been dating a girl called Caroline Nightingale who was besotted by him. I started dating Caroline but only after getting Cliff's permission. We went on to marry in 1979 but sadly divorced in 1987. Think Cliff Aungier was the love of her life and I think she has left some evidence to prove it.
