Sadly, Pat dies of cancer some years ago.

He was a total gentleman and was always happy to pass on any tips to a fledgeling performer.

He had a great sense of humour and a very dry & droll delivery style as well as using a variety of styles of guitar playing. He was the reason I became a Tom Lehrer fan although his repertoire coveres all genres of music.

His one and only album is now available on CD - remastered by Colin Pearce in Portsmouth and produced on demand. Colin has also remastered all of Pat's good buddy, Jon Isherwood's (also no longer with us) catalogue and that is also available
