A tribute to John Close, singer-songwriter from Milton Keynes, who's musical brilliance was loved by many. John died of motor-neuron disease at the age of 55. In this video, he is seen fronting his band, "The Streets", in 1983. Original video courtesy of the BBC.
John and I grew up living almost opposite each other in a small north bucks village. We were about the same age and both had a great love of music, over the years there were several times we played together. John 'depped' in my band a few times and I we helped each other with our own songs. I last saw him when he was in Caldecott then like you do we lost touch. I was very sad and shocked to hear of his illness and subsequent demise. I good musican and a lovely man. ROCK ON JOHN!!!
