Lovely music, there.
That's very young to die. My sympathies to Gillian's family and friends, for their loss.
could you let me know how to get in contact with Barry Mike. I couldnt make Gillians funeral and I would like to write to him.
If you could email me I would be grateful.
Regards from years passed
Stuart Smellie
