A new found friend now lost, maybe Elton's call was too strong? Hugh, thank you for being so supportive and inspirational to all of us here in the Delta Saxophone Quartet. It was an honour to work (sorry, this was never work- it was just fantastic) with you. I will never forget the start of our, sadly now, short journey with you, The performance at Etnafest 2007 (19th Jan.)... Your beauitiful wife Christine was also able to share this with us all too - and tease you in such a moving way, about how she also enjoyed Karl Jenkins's piece- Floating World! (grrr) said Hugh with his big smile.. St Georges Bristol and Kettles Yard Cambridge were to follow... both are benchmark concerts for us re- tingle factor, of any Delta performance since our formation in 1984..
We'll never forget you, your wonderful family, and of course your music. We will nurture with care the gift of your music which you were so generous to share with us. I find comfort that now you are out of pain... keep something back for when we all meet up again... with love. Chris/Pete/Tim/Graeme (DSQ performers on album-dedicated to you/Moonjune)
