I was so, so, so sad to hear the news that Jim Brownlee passed away today from an unexpected illness.. A beautiful, charming, utterly friendly and caring wee man I had come to know quite well over the last tour as he popped up everywhere and anywhere with a cheeky smile and a bottle of wine and a rattle of banter that always raised spirits in the doomiest vaults. I’ll miss you Jim Brownlee a true Fishhead and pillar of the Company. Slainthe Mhath wherever you are. We will all raise a glass to you in Leamington this year and sing you a song I know you’ll join us in from the top balcony.My heart goes out to his family who must be deeply shocked at the sudden loss of a husband and father,Derek Dick aka Fish
