DAN WOODS, the guitarist in my band Barnstormer for over 20 years and one of the most gentle, intelligent and talented people I have ever met, died during the night of January 6-7 aged 61 after four years battling cancer. We are all absolutely gutted. His funeral is tomorrow, Wednesday February 22.
Dan loved playing music and painting, was stupendously good at both and, as you can see from the photo atop the page taken by his great friend Mel Owen, was a very good-looking bloke.
