A lovely man and true gent who I was chuffed to have met a couple of times. He happily chatted to my mum outside the stage door at Fairfield Halls in Croydon like he was an old friend of hers, a true legend who we’ll never forget and who will be forever missed. Hope you’re rocking up there with Buddy. Sleep tight xx
