Simon was a great support to me when I started teaching, but more importantly he became a good friend too. I had the pleasure of being part of his band for several years but my fondest memory of Simon was his sheer delight when I told him that my wife was expecting our first child and to celebrate this he wrote a song about how happy this had made him which the band then performed for many years.

So sorry to hear of your loss, Dawn, and sending our sincere condolences.

I still have very fond memories of my time at Mundella and singing with the Hsndsomers. Xx
