    Very sad news indeed – he was a wonderful man and a pleasure to deal with. I distinctly remember the phone call when he first booked us (The Zblues Devils) to play at the festival back in the early 2000’s – I was relatively new to the whole gig negotiations at that level and I danced around the subject of the fee – I eventually plucked up the courage and asked him how much we would be paid and he simply answered – “How much are you worth!” Brilliant lesson in life 😂

  8. So sad 😞 what a trooper he was

  9. Sorry to hear this sad news. He was an Edinburgh institution
