So in this life across so many festivals, events and rendezvous, we have a few core friends with whom you share swathes of history.
Weddings, Birthdays, Jams, Turning Points, Trips where you got to do one’s Tax while in the passenger seat …. and then funerals!
Here be a photographic look at three lives occasionally entwined, my own with –
Nigel Lever & Tony Hunter – RIP
Such a grand table seating @ The Nash Session Bar 2022!
L – Paddy Montgomery with his Greek Hammer Dulcimer friend, Tom Kendall, Alex Gordon, Tony Eyers, Tony Hunter, a young bonus and finally “Sir” Nigel Lever – R ! Photo from my own panoramic Iphone hand!
Black & Whites by Dom Beckett @ National Folk Fest Session Bar 2022!
With these collective pics we remember the music tenacity of Tony & Nigel and their generous enthusiasm to seek all a song & tune can give!
And how friendships flow life long!
Nigel, after tumultuous relationships and marriage, finally settled with the dear Rosie MacDonald. Album finally recorded & released – then Nigel suddenly left us. Marcus Holden & I played him out at the funeral. And the world waxed & waned across our many collective stories & memories of both Tony & Nigel !
