Andy Gunton… Not a good way to start the new year. Very sad to hear the news of the death overnight of Mick Bolton. A lovely man & a fine pianist too, who many local people will have seen playing around the Hastings area. In the past he’d played with Mott The Hoople, Dexy’s Midnight Runners & Linda McCartney, amongst others.I had the pleasure of working with Mick on several occasions, something I have very fond memories of. R.I.P Mick, you will be sadly missed
Alan Esdaile… Very sad news. Such a warm and genuine person and a great musician.

Nick Bloomfield… I will remember him though singing this song which is one of his own compositions. I was very fortunate to record ‘Serpentine Summer’ which is a lovely song about the Hyde Park Concert in 1969.
