Local news story:

Evanne was so proud to be asked to do a commissioned piece of art for the Spital Chapel - this meant a lot to all of us, as it was the last piece of art she did.

We got engaged after 6 weeks, married 14 months later and today we celebrate 33 years since our wedding.

We’ve been through the best of times and the absolute worst of times, but always together as soulmates.

Love you always, Vanessa ❀️

I also want to play some of her favourite songs. It’s a few years since I played in public and 25 years since I played solo gigs and radio shows, so lots of practice needed I think…. 😬

I promised Evanne I’d start to play guitar and write songs again, so I’m keeping my promise - bought a cheap Vox travel guitar to add to the collection, so I can practice on the go.
Aiming to do a charity gig in Spring/Summer 2026 to raise money for some of the brain tumour causes that meant so much

Sharing thoughts and love with all of the other bereaved dads today on Father’s Day - we lost our beautiful Evanne almost 7 weeks ago and I would give anything to chat to her and hug her again.

Miss you, sweetheart X

Today would have been Evanne’s 25th Birthday. She always loved that she shared the same birthday as her icon, Marilyn Monroe - I hope the 2 of them are sat together somewhere sharing special memories & a drink.

If you have a minute, please raise a glass and remember her ❀️

Our beautiful & incredible daughter Evanne has spent 6 years battling brain tumour/cancer & the awful side effects. What sustained her was her love of comedy & music - she could really do with a boost now, if you can spare a minute to send her a message
