Hi Jackie and Sarah and Emma, My guitar group were devastated to hear of Paul's passing. We send big hugs and our loving thoughts to you and your family at this sad time. Paul came to my guitar class Thursday evenings at Warkworth, whenever he could. We enjoyed his musical knowledge, interesting info and personal mementos he shared, plus his guitar skills. He was an asset to the group. I know he also loved playing bass in the band he was a part of and enjoyed this immensely. I would sometimes bump into him on Tuesdays in WW, whilst I was setting up my ukulele classes. He always stopped, said hello and shared where his music journey was going. I will miss seeing him. We had a lovely guitar class last night, which featured Blackbird by Paul McCartney, along with several other great songs. I am sure Paul would have loved the session. We sure will miss him in our group. May he fly high and be surrounded by music on the other side.
