Fond memories of many pleasent hours spent with him at concerts and in my own home. May he Rest in Peace.

Will always have memories of a night in Whitby when he played for us, followed by a late night in the Tap and Spile fuelled by fish and chips and vodka. A unique talent! Will be greatly missed.

Dreadful loss.

I was a huge fan of Doll by Doll up to the third album, but never saw them live. Years later, after I became aware of his solo work, I never quite managed to go and see him - always thought I'd go the next time he came by.

Eternal is the warrior who finds beauty in his wounds. RIP big man.

We have very fond memories of the two occasions Jackie played for us at Twickfolk. Mesmeric performances that all present won't have forgotten in a hurry. Not only that we found him a lovely, warm, sincere, big-hearted and generous human being. RIP Jackie

I was so sorry to hear this sad news. There are some wonderful videos on YouTube of Jackie Leven and Doll by Doll.
