Brian and I didn't cross paths often in recent times, but when we did meet, it was great to exchange news and catch up on old times. Thanks for passing this on Splotty. |

The Falcon, that haven of real ale, always made Brian and Sheila (his wife) on the Mari's final call before the start of the New Year. I think a certain Dame Patti and I were responsible for Brian moving to South Wales, when a Berkshire Bedlam danced with a Cardiff Lady at Sidmouth Festival - as so began a lifetime's friendship! Bryan lived in Gwawr Street, Aberaman. When is the funeral taking place? |

Their long experience and steadfastness a major asset to any festival. From their caravan we watched the coming great storm of 2007 and (almost literally) stuck together through the weekend to make the best of it. I will miss the friendship and support, and hope that Sheila will continue to be part of our broad "family". Richard Beswick |
