She will be well remembered by anyone visiting the acoustic evenings at the Eel’s Foot, Eastbridge, Suffolk, in the twenty years or so prior to Covid, both as a performer in her own right and as the wife of Doc Cox, formerly of Esther Rantzen’s ‘That’s Life’ alias the recording artist Ivor Biggun. On a personal note, she was behind me and Doc (literally) for nearly ten years as tea-chest bass player and saxophonist in the Trembling Wheelbarrows, Suffolk’ premier comedy folk-rock band. Her many friends in the local music scene will miss her greatly. |

She was a good singer and a good tea chest bass player. My condolences to all those who know and love her. RIP Jilly. |
