So sad indeed! :'(

This one perhaps hit the hardest so far? (And therefore social media isn't prioritised.)

Might be difficult for him.

The message is going to be even more emotional than the one by Marcus Cliffe. You will see.

So sad. As already pointed out; they were the two people who really radiated happiness on stage. Both his album and the charity project is out of MKs hands now I guess, but there sure are plenty of reasons to do things NOW, while it is possible :-/

'It’s a sad farewell to old friend in song Brendan Croker who has succumbed to leukaemia. You’ll probably read more about Brendan in obituaries soon. He was a true artist in every way, appeared eccentric to many but was positive, brave and generous to a fault.

We had many happy years sharing music including touring and singing with our mutual pal Steve Phillips in the Notting Hillbillies. The song I can hear Brendan singing now is the one we used to finish our set with, ‘Feel Like Going Home’.

My thoughts are with Brendan’s partner Ali and their friends everywhere.' - MK

Damn, sad news. Another great musician left the stage of live on earth. RIP Brendan Croker. I never had the chance to see him live on stage, but i have his records on vinyls and cds. Very good musician and personality. No he is in heaven, together with Jack, jammin´ on cloud number nine and havin´ good times. I hope so.

That's away been one of my favourites too.  I listened to it the night I heard the news and it was very emotional.

Brandan always reminded me of Van Morrison. Only, I suppose, he was much better to work with than with Van!

I still had a little hope that Mark would perform a one off NHB gig.
