This post doesn´t seem right to me.

Now everyone that knew / knows Stuart subject to what the news is will be worrying.

Either clear it up or don´t post it is my advice.

Why doesn't it seem right to you, I was asking if anyone else knew anything about Stuart.

Well you obviously know something, otherwise you wouldn´t have mentioned the SAD NEWS bit, would you

Let´s put it another way Leam Lin what do you know about Stuart? your quote "Sad news" is obviously going to spark off some concern for anyone who has ever met him:confused:

If you think you may have quoted something in error you can always remove your post!;)

I was told by someone in the bar that sadly Stuart had died just before Christmas and his wife had returned to UK for now at least.
I have been past the bar frequently since, He is def not there and his keyboard covered, so can only assume it could be true.
Can't understand why the bar owner hasn't at least put a little sign in the door - I do know he has been ill for quite a while but he was only in his 50's, such a shame and he will be sadly missed.
I haven't posted anything before because I was surprised there was nothing in local papers etc, so held back.
A 100% confirmation would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. This is a bit late to answer your question, obviously you used to go in the Hops. It´s a little confusing to all those who didn´t know Stuart. For those who didn´t Stuart was the owner of the Hops, and used to play the keyboards.
Unfortunatly he died of cancer on the 15th of Dec last year. As i have mentioned in one of the other posts, i have been going in there for several years now, it was allways a good night in there. I used to get up and do my singing allong with quite a few others. Stuart was a great keyboard player and could play for anyone.
Anyway a great guy called John has taken the bar over and he has got a keyboard player and he is verry good at backing all the singers who get up. I believe Shirly who was Stuarts wife has been in the UK for a couple of months and is expected back on the island on Boxing day. thanks.

Where have you been:doh:

Have been in lots of times since John took over, still a good bar.
