Ahhh, that is sad news, but what a long and hugely productive life. Rest in Peace, Ma'am

I knew David when his company was a supplier to a speciality food company of which I was a director in the 90's. I met him and his daughter at exhibitions and spoke on the phone. Nice chap. RIP.

Sad news. I only saw Dee once - at Cropredy - she was gamely playing on while trying to stop her sheet music being blown all the way to Williamscot.

Steve Ashley posts news from Robin Dransfield that his brother, Barry has died.

Very saddened to hear of Dee Palmer's & Barry Dransfield's passing. I think Dee was hugely important in 70s Tull.

And the Fiddler's Dream is a wonderful album.

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.

Oh, when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s Dr Hook were the most played album in the car on long journeys. Me and my sisters used to sing along to silly songs.

Years later, I saw Dennis a couple of times solo at Bedworth Civic Hall, and then a few years ago as 'Dr Hook' in Birmingham Symphony Hall. He looked and sounded fabulous and it was an absolutely brilliant gig (Jon Poole from the Cardiacs was his bass player!).

Barry Dransfield's album is one of those l never grow tired of. 'Broken Barricades'   leaves me vulnerable and exhausted.
