The Day The Music Died

One year ago today - George Douglas Holmes died. George was a charismatic character, career civil servant of high intellect, musician, singer, storyteller, historian, lambeg drum enthusiast and a dear friend.

He will be sadly missed by those who were closest to him.

For me his knowledge of music and in particular local history was incredible - he made local history come alive with his story telling qualities - sadly no more.

However his memory will live on with me and others - for the good times!
