Came across this cutting in a cupboard whilst looking for something else! It doesn't have a date but I estimate it as being from about 25 years ago in 1995.

I haven't seen this for ages, Lance! We were all so fond of Jimmy - apart from his drumming, he was such a sweet guy, really kind - and with that great sense of humour. He was with Mike's band, the West Jesmond Rhythm Kings, from early on, until his sad death - and this was in 1995. I remember it was the year before my Mike retired, and that was 1996. I know that the WJRK's played their usual Tuesday night gig at the Lonsdale, and I think it was later on that same night that he died.
