Tim Russell 28/5/26
We were all deeply upset on Tuesday to learn of the passing of Tim Russell after a long illness at the age of 65. Tim was a familiar, friendly face at gigs around London, and we will greatly miss his company, as well as his great photos (Philip Sayce pictured by Tim at London's The Garage in November 2023) plus his insightful WRC reviews, that truly reflected his early days of working in the music business. RIP mate.
