Subject: RE: Obit: Colin Kemp (Mudcatter Col K) 2 Sep 07 From: Abuwood Date: 30 Jun 08 - 02:13 PM I heard a lovely story while at the Wirral festival about stewards in the Green room at Banbury. They kept leaving the place in a mess, but finding it tidied up in the morning - something Colin would always do.. They said it was him coming back to help out... |

Subject: RE: Obit: Colin Kemp (Mudcatter Col K) 2 Sep 07 From: GUEST,Zoe from Nottingham Date: 16 Jul 09 - 03:43 PM I'm sorry its taken me a while to get to write this but here it is... How sad I was when I heard the news that Colin had passed away. The sadness felt was as though he was a member of my own family. He always had a big hug and a smile for me at the many Festivals I've been to and took part in over the last 20 years. So very missed by all. Zoe x |

Subject: RE: Obit: Colin Kemp (Mudcatter Col K) 2 Sep 07 From: GUEST,GUEST, Catherine Date: 27 Aug 09 - 06:03 PM It's taken me sometime to actually write this. But as the 2nd anniversay is coming up in a few days I just felt the need to say that when I read this thread 2 yrs ago with tears running down my face I also felt a sense of happiness that Colin was obviously loved by so many friends. I'm so glad that he found his niche in life and that he had you all and that he loved what he was doing. I was at the funeral and the sheer numbers of people there came as a big shock to me and made me realise that he had a whole new life that I was never a part of. Inevitably his death opened up a whole can of very emotional and mixed memories for me that I thought were buried a long time ago. It's been difficult at times to cope with all this but with help and support from some very special people I'm getting there. Most of you don't know me, but may guess who I am, Keith's is the only name I recognise (yes May & Aug 1982), but I'd like to send thanks to all you special people who knew and loved Colin. I'll be thinking about him especially on Monday..cheers Colin and sorry I stopped being a part of your life.. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Colin Kemp (Mudcatter Col K) 2 Sep 07 From: Pistachio Date: 07 Sep 09 - 12:56 PM As in 2007, Linda and I sang 'Sweet Minerva' in the Minerva at the Hull 'Sea Fever' Festival this weekend then stepped outside and remembered Colin. His was the last name to be read out on the Shellback Roll of Remembrance as they sang the Farewell Shanty in Ruscadors. Happy Memories. Catherine, Be happy you knew him. I know I am one of many who is! Hazel.x |
