Hi, folks, I've just registered after hearing of the passing of Stuart a couple of months ago & I'm afraid to have to pass on the sad news that his Mother, Joyce died yesterday. I am related to the family through my father's side & remember visiting them in the early to mid-sixties. I was always very envious of the musical abilities of all three of them, a talent that skipped my generation completely, but re-surfaced in my children's era, they are both accomplished musicians, my son for enjoyment & my daughter in a professional capacity. The last time I met Stuart was at my brother's wedding in 1978 & Joyce 13 years ago when she was a guest at my father's 80th birthday celebrations. Joyce's sister Muriel is still with us & we'll be sending a suitable card to her. Although I wasn't present, Joyce, Muriel & Stuart's twin brother Keith attended my Dad's 90th birthday celebration in Alnwick Castle Tree House in Feb 2012 & other members of my family were present. Sad day for the family. Best Rgds, Rick Davies
