Geoff’s love and knowledge of the Beatles, David Bowie, the Who and other 1960’s and 1970’s British pop was staggering… I love these bands, and he took that passion to another level. I’ll never forget listening to the various mixes of Bowie’s Space Oddity and noticing the subtle nuances Geoff would point out. His huge collection of singles made it easy to discover something new, especially with him curating a journey through his favourites, or even versions that he would express great disdain for! This was only matched by his love of classical music. You’ll see signs of these passions in his musings in his website.
Raise a good glass of wine with friends, have a hell of a party, listen to some great music… a great way to celebrate his life.
RIP Geoff
