Bert Weedon remembered:
'Dear Bert - we will miss him. From early childhood throughout our lives he was Britain's Mr guitar. He seemed to be the first person we saw on television showing us how to play and he left a lasting impression on us. We use to joke about how he played a thousand notes a minute but we were always impressed with him. Like us, he loved the guitar and communicated that passion to many generations. Bert, we'll miss you.'
- Paul McCartney

It goes against the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union by prohibiting individuals’ right to express their beliefs. No one needs to eat animals – and we can combat climate change and lessen the risk of suffering from heart dis...

"Steve was a great creative artist. He was also a loving husband and father and I feel privileged to have known him. I enjoyed his quick sense of humour and his love of music. He came to quite a few of our concerts and it was always a pleasure to see him bopping on the sidelines. I once said to him that he must be extremely proud of what he had done. He agreed but said he was even prouder of what he had not done. A great man who will be missed by me and many ...
