I am sad to report that Louis Ribeiro died today. He had been ill and in pain for some months, weakened by cancer. He held on just long enough to see his beloved 'Bokke' prevail in Paris on Saturday night before slipping into a coma from which he was released this morning with his wife Christine at his side.
A lovely musician and a gentle soul.

ReplyDeleteHey Louis my childhood friend....so sorry not to see you again. I came to London in 2006 to live and managed to track you down now. Wherever you are I am sure you have met up with Syd Kitchen and we will all see you soon enough.
