Let's not forget our Eric Snowball and our much loved Jimmy Martin, I miss him belting it out on that White Carter even if you had to hold back his enthusiasm
now and then!

So to the former attendees! ... Mr...... Hartley / Thurlby / Kirk / Dunn / Burton / Bartholomew / Pritchard / Mr Nesbitt! from the ISGA and and!!

Joined I would hope by the troops from London, the South West and North East & West! ... expect a call at some date in the future! .........

As for the SSGW ... we might hire a learjet and come down join you!

No pecking order just a 'blast of a bash'! And bollocks to tickets and badges Ron and Margret McLaren will handle all that at the door with their usual aplomb! :

If you're legit and family you'll get in ............. if not ..we'll put the heid on you!.......... Simples!

Yes you are.You are correct, John was an amazing player.

I won't know what to call you Bob if you ain't got a badge on.

John, Yeh, What can be said has been said. His recorded music is here with us, that's good.
There will always be the throwbacks and videos, I'm moving on, so is Mandy, We had a good chat when she was here.
I've got a feeling she be in Suffolk one day, maybe soon. I wanna be the steel player. Don't get any ideas...!
She's my puppet partner in country crime.

John was our very own stonking honky-tonk Tele picker, as country as they come. What a player. They do say the good die young, it's unfortunately true. RIP John.

Yes, he was a lovely man, he always had time to chat to you, he is missed.

I'm very pleased I was able to catch John playing a couple of times at JD's meets. really great player and very nice bloke too. Very sad

All of whats been said above, I too was fortunate enough to meet and hear John at JD's meets, great player, really nice guy.
A sad loss to all of us.
