Regrettably,
Keith Stewart of “Keith & Enid fame”, as well as boasting a stellar career as a
cabaret artist on the North Coast back in the 60s & 70s, has passed away. His velvet voice can
be well remembered as he captivated numerous audience at the famous
Yellow Bird club back in the 60s. He was also a good amateur tennis player.
May his soul R. I. P.

Jamaican reggae star Alton Ellis, known as the “Godfather of Rocksteady”, died overnight of cancer in London, a hospital spokeswoman said Saturday. He was 70 years old.
Ellis passed away peacefully at Hammersmith Hospital, the spokeswoman said.
The singer-songwriter was diagnosed with multiple myeloma last year. He underwent chemotherapy and returned to the stage before he collapsed during his final performance in central London in August.
