Very sad. I saw her once in Canterbury in the early 90s. Wonderful gig. A very talented singer and performer...

This one is a real shock.

Of all JM s  catalogue, the 2 albums  with Beverley  are among my favourites.

Record Store  Day saw the release of her long lost solo  debut  LP a few years ago.

RIP Dennis Locorriere June 13th 1949 - May 16th 2026.

Members of this forum will remember Dennis' appearances at Cropredy. I wasn't there in 2012, but I remember his set in 2003.

A bit of a wild card booking, nobody really knew what to expect, but he surprised a lot of people and was very well received.

Dr Hook were a fixture on the cassette player of my parents when I was in my teens…my sister and mum saw them in Hereford Leisure Centre and I was luckily there at Cropredy both tines…Very sad news.

Thought he was excellent at Cropredy , particularly the second time. RIP Dennis.
