Not good news. Saw him last March in the Telonics room with Mark. May he RIP.

[Dave Nutt]

Another British stalwart leaves us, thanks for all the licks.
Rest in peace John.

Never knew him personally but he was an extremely good player in the Tele. style and a very popular chap.

A great shock as he can't have been that old. A very very sad loss.

Sympathies to his wife and family.
R.I.P.

Fond memories of John Stannard who played at nearly all my Steelies meetings, this link,



is a clip of a scratch band I put together to fill an hour at the theatre in Brentwood, John outclassed us all by a country mile!
My Daughter Kate came along and sang a couple of songs ....The first time she had ever been on stage and sang in front of people....... not too shabby for a first go...
My youngest Bec was on the video camera, also her first effort at filming ...hence the shaky camera etc.
but the magic of John Stannard's playing shines through and carried us, he was a class act and a good friend may he rest in peace.

I got this news first thing this morning whilst setting up for soundcheck at the Quickdraw Fest. Been a very sad day for me, Big John had big personality, great picker who played from the heart. God bless you Buddy RIP
