    If you can get the BBC Radio 4 replays today (Friday 27th August) at 16:00 (4PM) there was a piece about him, with recording of the man, his son and others on the 'Last Word' program.

    If you go to the BBC radio website you can navigate to Radio 4 and then to the schedule, or to the 'Last Word' program records - I can do it so it can't be difficult.

    He is mentioned at the start and then after 7 minutes and 40 seconds of the program.

    I like this a lot! I need to keep reminding myself to find a few of their CD's. Great stuff.

    Nice that a modern band thought to play this tribute.

    Just over a week until I see them in New York.
