The tragic death of guitarist, Michael Casswell, TOWT’s cousin, last September was a shock to his family. What was also a shock to them was how respected and loved he was in the music biz as he rather hid his light under a bushel.
On the hottest day in 40 years we went to the subterranean music venue that is the 100 Club in Oxford Street to attend the tribute concert put on by his friends and colleagues. It was a great evening with his band, East of Java, putting on a storming set.
There were cameos from the likes of Tony Hadley, Limahl – who had me dancing in the aisles – and the wonderful Marcus Malone band.

The venue had smartened up since I was last there, some thirty-seven years ago, and the beer was considerably better – I had to have the Brewdog Punk Ipa.
It was a great evening and one which did Michael proud.
