We had some sad news on Friday...when we found out that our old friend John McGuiness had died.
He was only 56.
We were friends with John during our year at Wigan Tech. He went on to study art at Preston. He was really talented.
While we were at tech...we would go round to his house and listen to his crazy music collection. Declan reminded me how John was a big Frank Zappa fan. Terence remembers how John gave him a Loudon Wainwright cassette...our first taste of the great man.
We lost touch with each other in recent years. I feel sad that we had nt spoken to him for a while.
He was a lovely man. Quiet and kind. x
