RIP dear Brian. Fond memories of you and Dad (Derek Milsom) who formed the harmonica group Trio Dot and represented Great Britain in Strasbourg in the 60’s! Of course you went on as a solo artist with your harmonica skills… you kindly played at Dad’s funeral and at my Wedding party in 2016. Your sparkling charming personality will be remembered and missed and, on behalf of the Milsom family, we send our sincere condolences to your family and loved ones. Jane Griffiths (nee Milsom).

I'm sorry I can't be at his funeral, but I will be thinking of him and his family. I have fond memories of Brian - a real larger-than-life character.
