Comment by Richard Albert Watson on February 5, 2026 at 22:41: Hi John. We both started at school together at the age of 5 in the same class at Hazlewood lane primary school. He is a month younger than me. We lived on the Farndale avenue estate. As there were 4 kids in our family we had a 3 bed house. Brian was an only child so his folks lived in a first floor flat at the end of the estate. We were in regular contact up until he joined the Shadows. In fact My wife and I had dinner at his flat near Broomfield Park before he joined them. The last time I saw him was when I visited his home in Lullington Garth North Finchley
