I'd taken over design of the official website and helping them navigate social media. Part of the street team. I knew JJ very well, and after they did their bit we all congregated on te stage chatting, and I remember going up to Dave and introducing myseld, 4 year old daughter in arms. He seemed to know who I was when I mentioned the website .. and he was complimentary, saying, yes it's very good. Didn't have an in depth chat but he was easy going and happy to just stand around and listen as long I wanted. I can't remember what we talked about... but he struck me as a contented chap!

A picture I had framed and disappeared with many other cherished artefacts when the divorce moved me out of the house.<br />More amusingly,I chatted to Dave for nearly 30 mins on PPG Wave synths and medieval history.At every opportunity this young lady tried to get his attention by interrupting and thrusting her "wares" in between us!<br />The way Dave dealt with the situation with her i.e moving her along to talk to one of the brass players was gentleness and kindness itself.<br />Imagine my surprise when he then came back and we completed our conversation and had the photo taken by Hugh's brother.<br />In my limited experience a true gentleman.PratInBackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022925601851415089noreply@blogger.com
