The Princess sent me a Christmas card from the Ascension Islands - which basically said she was 4 days from home and John is surviving the trip - but she sounded weary. By the time I got the letter they would be back.
I am sure it is common knowledge that John is seriously ill and they came to Britain for hospital treatment.
Maglan is unlikely to be using e-mail so anyone wanting to send good wishes - post here & I can send a print-out by snail mail (6 weeks on the mail boat).
Other alias for those who might have seen them at festicvals over the years:
Pricess Dinizulu and Prof John, & Saints and Sinners

Bendigo range today. He had a message from Maglan to say John Passed away at 8.55 this morning. At least he made it to St Helena.

I was thinking of them at Bedworth yesterday, and how we'd missed them in the Theatre Bar at Sidmouth. I'm really sorry to hear this news.

Just wasn't the same without them.

I still think that "Rolling home to Saint Helena", the way the Princess simgs it, is the best way to sing that song, rather than to "Dear Old England" or "Dear New England" or whatever.

Please pass on my sympathies to Maglan.
John was such a gentle person and will be missed by all who knew him.

There's a Kipling verse that comes to mind. It's about Napoleon, but never mind that:

"How far from St. Helena to the Gate of Heaven's Grace?"
That no one knows--that no one knows--and no one ever will.
But fold your hands across your heart and cover up your face,
And after all your trapesings, child, lie still!

John was indeed a lovely man.   I hope Maglan will be keeping on singing - I'm sure she will.

Perhaps the thread should be retitled John Noden RIP?
