Ray Shakeshaft passed away in October.

Post by Martin Shakeshaft »

Just a short message to let you know Ray Shakeshaft passed away last month. After suffering a series of strokes four years ago, he was unable to play. He died peacefully aged 82. He was a keen Slide Guitarist and I know he counted many people on this forum as good friends.

Thanks to everyone for your help over the past few years.

Martin (Ray's Son).
