I've just found out that Norm, a great friend to many of us through H&V and the mailing list, has died. He was a wonderful man with a host of stories about the Villa and his role in the early days of Brumbeat, when he sang as Lee Stevens with the Satellites. Sleep well mate.

Condolences to his family and friends.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Sad news. Sincere condolences to all his family and friends.

RIP Norm, such a shame - remember Norm as one of the main contributors on the mailing list…

RIP Lee/Norm

[PeterWithe]

There is a name from the past, I also recall him being one of the main contributors to the mailing list.

RIP.

He didn't say much on here but his most memorable post was a contribution to the Your First Gig thread. There were a few good ones, then Norm threw in "Eddie Cochran supported by Gene Vincent. Ask yer dad." You couldn't follow that.

[Villan For Life]

That’s very sad news, RIP

[Sexual Ealing]

I know the name, but haven't seen it for ages. Sad news. RIP.

[Brend'Watkins]

He was one of those contributors who you wished posted more. RIP Norm.

Brilliant, you're right you can't beat that. RIP Norm.

Agreed and reading the name Gene Vincent has given me the Ian Dury song as an earworm, which is no bad thing.

RIP Norm.
