Proud Teessiders and a World of Friends Bid Farewell To Vin:

Updated: 21 June 2017

Over 800 people gathered at Middlesbrough Cathedral, Friday 16th June 2017, to bid farewell to Vin. Tears of Sadness & Joy in equal measure, a bit like a Vin Concert! We think our Teesside Folky Brother would have been well chuffed. A final eulogy from Emma, Tim, Katie & Louis, finishing with Pat's words, was perfect. We'll sing our songs of Teesside with even more pride as we head into this years Festival Season, with Vin & Betsy in our thoughts and therefore a smile on our faces!....Farewell Vin, Rest In Peace..."All The Very Best"!
