Oh, so sad. These things are obviously becoming more regular events because of passing years, but they still jab and jar

Absolutely Billy - the video clip of Allan playing with The Softs is very early in his career

Even as a fledgling he was superb

[A special mention must go to John Marshall's amazing tubs]

That shouldn't happen to anyone as illustrious as Holdsworth (or even anyone at all, I suppose). I wonder why people couldn't have raised money for him while he was alive, but I don't suppose I really know what I'm talking about.

Does it cost $20k fir a funeral?

[Nervous Ned]

When my Mum died in 2009 it cost £3,200.

I've hardly heard anything by him outside of UK. I'll have to remedy that.

Thanks for the link.
That's a lovely tribute from the Dweez.
