6. Merro didn’t believe in celebrating his birthday, so we just said that the date was as good as any time of the year for us to get together every year. The snap was taken by Virginia in Merro’s Rose Cottage in Thirlmere, late 80s or early 90s. It shows Merro impeccably attired, Dale on the bones, me on the mouth organ and John on guitar and vocalising. (Chris, email 6/11/23)
