Dean Brodrick… A great and inspiriational man who connected me with the spirit of our ancestors. A master in every way. I learned so much from Nana. A truely magnificant human being.

Simwinji Zeko… Just found out Nana has passed. I was doing one of my periodic ‘wonder how Nana is doing’ checks and hoping yet again to find his music somehow. Been trying to find and see him for 20 years plus. Last saw him in South Africa in the early ‘90’s when he toured with Trevor Watts. A gentle inspired musician with a huge human spirit. Will be missed

Nick Foster… Nana was a frequent musician in the Pig in the eighties. Always a delight seeing and hearing him. The highlight was with Dade Krama in the back bar of the Pig during the Hastings Fringe Festival circa 87, 88. Absolutely f…Ing brilliant.

Nick King… Well my earliest memories of Nana was at Kingswood School Bath….He would sit at meal times with two ring fingers bent beating out the most amazing mesmerising rhythms on the table while chatting to everyone (and very occassionally taking a very small break for one hand to lift a fork and eat. !) A lesser known non musical fact was that he was an amazing sportsman and a true natural. I was in his rugby team and coaching us was easy with the instruction ‘just get the ball to Nana and he’ll do the rest !!’ He ran like a panther and even played rugby with incredible rythm and balance…School memories of a truely lovely, gifted and well respected gem. I’m sure he’ll still be tapping away in the heavens …RIP Nana
