All this time on here, and I had no idea he was Tony!! Have known him since our days of going in The Phoenix, Jilly's and UMIST rock clubs.
He was a superb guitarist going right back to Fireclown and up to his Hellhounds band. His often confrontational (passionate) style of posting here was the total opposite of his real personality, where he was the most quiet and modest guy you could meet.
R.I.P mate.
Edit: The amount of posts on here, and also the Facebook pages of all the mentioned clubs above speaks volumes for him.
