14 Feb 08 - 04:27 AM (#2262036) Subject: Tony Horncastle From: GUEST,woodsie I was saddened to hear that Tony Horncastle died recently. Tony was a regular at Croydon, Orpington and Folkmob clubs with his lovely Martin guitar. He was a superb guitarist. He was also regular at Knockholt. I remember what the great John Barden said about last summer's event "The Highlight for me, was jamming with Tony" I will cherish memories of "Twenty Flight Rock" by the campfire on that saturday afternoon in June. May he rest in peace. |

We heard this very sad news from shantyman Chris Roche on Wednesday, and mailed our own e-mail group the following day.

There will be a memorial day arranged as a musical tribute at a later date. Tony wanted to be remembered in music and song. |
