Sad Losses

I was very saddened in March to hear of the death of three former regulars of the Open Mic nights at the Clutha Vaults.
Willie Mathews died in January,

{Willie and Fraser Lindsay]
His death was closely followed by that of  Johnny T Miller, who often brought his bass along to the Open Mic and played along with lots of the artists, as well as singing a few of his own!

and in February Pamela Nicols a regular audience member also died.

Pamela was alway cheery and willing to get up and dance when the mood took her!

All of them will be missed in their own ways,

and the music world will be a little poorer for their passing

 - but I'll bet they are having a rocking time in the afterlife!!!
