“Hi Finnerty, my late brother was a good guy and like most people who frequented Ellesmere Road/Drone at the time, he liked a drink. However, I do get fed up with the slanted and stereotypical view of him being this dependent drinker which his infamous wife was more than happy to promote at the time and no doubt still does, to help justify her behaviour. I think it would be more appropriate to remember him as an excellent graphic artist and a fine musician in his own right and also a very good sound engineer, who recorded some of the best bands to come out of Manchester.”
