Vale: John Duncan (1929 - 2020)
Vale: Dr Thomas (Tom) Langston OAM (1950 - 2020)
From the time of their respective arrivals until April 2020, John (died 24 April) and Tom (died 14 April) contributed significantly to the cultural life of North West Tasmania. Their work and interest in community music fostered, influenced and enriched the development of many musicians and singers in various genres and encouraged jazz lovers, listeners and performers alike.
We owe a great debt of gratitude to these gentlemen. They encouraged many to contribute to and fully participate in the musical life of NW Tasmania and will be remembered fondly. To their families we offer our condolences and thanks.
