I knew Jonathan for years when he lived in Surrey and we travelled to Holland once or twice. Then I lost touch with him around 1979/1980. Later I wanted to see him again and found that, very sadly, he was dead. I really regret that. Anyway back in the 1970s he gave me a cassette of 3 tracks he recorded so I could deposit them with my bank - this was thought to be way of establishing copyright at the time. I have now digitised these and wouldbe happy to send them to anyone who is interested. Excellent music IMHO! |

Nostalgisch, 3 akkoorden, geweldige, punkrockende website. Tesamen met de Ramones, Speedtwins was ik reddeloos verloren, geen gezeik, recht toe recht aan, nihilistisch emotioneel, en gedreven muzikanten. Blij met deze website, veel succes !, o ja, jaren gezocht naar more fun to compete, de cassette was hopeloos versleten, en uiteindelijk terug op vinyl gevonden via duitse ebay, koste slechts 120 Euro, but who cares. Niet errug punkrock maar moest t'm hebben, dus een cd re-issue zou geen gek idee zijn.
Many rock 'n' roll regards

Im so sad to hear that Jonathan (as I knew him) has passed away.
I knew him when I was 12 years old and living in Hampstead and he initially came to us from an agency as a house cleaner. He soon became good a friend to me and my mum and started giving me guitar lessons. He was 19 years old and of course I looked up to him and in many ways he became a big brother to me. Unfortunately at the time he was using heroin and started coming less and less.
One day I came home from school to find him and his wife at the house. I cant remember her first name but her last name was Redwing. They had just got married – I think the day before – but had been evicted from their flat and had no place to go. He was going though withdrawals and she was sleeping off a mild overdose of something in our spare room. His face was covered in spots and he was shaking so badly that when my mum gave him a cup of tea I remember that he couldn’t hold it and it fell on the floor.
I was so shocked that this made a lasting impression and when I later started smoking weed, unlike some of my friends, I was never tempted to try heroin – for which I will always be grateful to Jonathan.
I went to school the next day but when I came home he was gone. My father had come home from a business trip and had decided that having him there would not be a good influence for my brother and me – and error for which I never truly forgave him.
I’ve been looking for him on and off for the last 38 years, checking the internet periodically and even going as far as hiring a private detective in 2000 - who traced him as far as living in Fortune Green Road (north London) in 1984. I really regret that I never got the chance to meet him again and renew our friendship. Still I’m so happy to see that he did find musical success – and seems to have had a pretty good and full life in the next 10 or so years after I knew him.
Best wishes to all
