Subject: RE: Obit: Theresa Tooley (Treaties) 2 Jan 2010 From: nutty Date: 13 Jan 12 - 04:14 AM Another year goes by. I wonder if this year of natural disasters has anything to do with Theresa stirring things up in the heavens. That's a thought that puts a smile on my face. This is just to send birthdat wishes to Theresa wherever she is now. HAPPY BIRTHDAY |

Ann my recordings of you and Theresa will be sorted one day via Hazel unless you can PM me. My video of Theresa at Carol and Andrews wedding was special and only to be released with advice from those closest to her. Nutty advice ? Thank you for you Theresa. Richard |

Subject: RE: Obit: Theresa Tooley (Treaties) 2 Jan 2010 From: Dave Earl Date: 02 Jan 11 - 08:40 PM "Pete Hopkins sang 'Captain Valiant'" And wasn't that just a typical Theresa song. Wasn't at Pete's rendition but whenever I here that song I'll remember Theresa in the thick of it all giving welly like only she could. RIP Dave |

Subject: RE: Obit: Theresa Tooley (Treaties) 2 Jan 2010 From: Ebbie Date: 02 Jan 11 - 03:27 PM I met Therese only the once - at the 2004 or 2005 Getaway - but I think of her often. Especially so, since the little Care Bear she sent me sits on a shelf I pass every day. This was a woman larger than life encased in a small frame that was scarcely large enough to hold her. It will be a long time before I forget her, if ever. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Theresa Tooley (Treaties) 2 Jan 2010 From: Barb'ry Date: 02 Jan 11 - 01:29 PM Pete Hopkins sang 'Captain Valiant' at New Year but in my mind all I could hear was Theresa! We still miss her |

Subject: RE: Obit: Theresa Tooley (Treaties) 2 Jan 2010 From: nutty Date: 02 Jan 11 - 04:17 AM It's a year now since we lost Theresa but, such was her impact on my life, that she is still almost constantly in my thoughts. Perhaps this is what is really meant by life after death. Certainly the spirit of Theresa will never die |

Subject: RE: Obit: Theresa Tooley (Treaties) 2 Jan 2010 From: Shantyfreak Date: 16 Jan 10 - 09:20 AM So many people sharing memories of this grand-old-lady. She has left a big hole in the life of all of us who knew her. There have been murmurings of a Memorial Concert and why not? (put me down for a ticket) but for the rest of this year why don't we all remember Theresa in the way she would like best. At every festival we have connections with, let's persuade the organisers to nominate one of the Sing-a-Rounds as the "Theresa Tooley Memorial Sing-a-Round" and let's all sing our favourite songs that we sang with T. That way every-one can join in everywhere. Pass the thought on. Jim |

Subject: RE: Obit: Theresa Tooley (Treaties) 2 Jan 2010 From: Dave Wynn Date: 09 Jan 10 - 06:33 PM Theresa promted the writing of Indian Summer by Pete Ryder. He never, ever sang that song without crediting Theresa with the raison d'etre. Why, is between Pete and Theresa. She could sing a third below my bass harmony and a fifth above my melody. She was good with hugs when you needed one too. Weeping here Theresa.......... |

Subject: RE: Obit: Theresa Tooley (Treaties) 2 Jan 2010 From: Vin2 Date: 08 Jan 10 - 06:30 AM Didn't know Theresa personally but saw her many times at Saddleworth festival originally with Firm Friends. Her and Bill camped next to me one year and they were a fab couple to talk to. Always a bubbly, lively lady and a great singer and a joy to see/hear each year. Condolencies to her family and R.I.P Theresa and Bill. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Theresa Tooley (Treaties) 2 Jan 2010 From: Cavia_P Date: 06 Jan 10 - 05:34 AM Oh dear, I came on MC for the first time in ages looking for one old friend and found another has passed. I can't remember a time when Theresa wasn't at the heart of any festival singaround. She was someone I always enjoyed spending time with, and it was always quality time. Captain Bloody Valiant was her song (in my mind), but I recall the Ironing Board Shanty and "I'll be no submissive wife". She was at the forefront of a group of very formidable ladies, but always with great humour and affection. RIP Treasure. Chris Nicole Guineapigs and polar bears |

Rest (and sing) in peace Pete & maggie |

Subject: RE: Obit: Theresa Tooley (Treaties) 2 Jan 2010 From: Selchie - (RH) Date: 05 Jan 10 - 02:20 AM Very sad news of a brave & talented lady. Theresa will be remembered not only for her enthusiasm & powerful performances, but also for her encouragement to those who were new to the folk world or less experienced than herself. Always great fun to be around. Rest in peace now, we will all miss your presence but remember you with love & gratitude. Rosie S |

Subject: RE: Obit: Theresa Tooley (Treaties) 2 Jan 2010 From: MMario Date: 04 Jan 10 - 10:37 AM There doesn't seem to be anything I can add. I'm another who met Theresa through FSGW Getaways; and though I didn't know her well or long, I will miss her indeed! Theresa and Barry - both small in stature, great in personality and voice. Two voices that you KNOW will echoe down the ages.... |

A fabulous woman who undeservedly got the shitty end of the stick but remained an inspiration in song and in life. I'm sure big Col had a big hug for her when she arrived. muppitz x |
