A genuine ‘Mr Nice Guy’,

who’s departure, too soon came into view.

Best known for penning ‘You’re A Lady’,

‘Hold On To Love’, and so many more too.

 

A 1930’s song – ‘Love Is The Sweetest Thing’,

becoming his Top 60 hit of 78,

and with Albums totalling more than 20,

his uniqueness, carried much weight.

 

Whether teaming up with Julian Lloyd Webber

and Mary Hopkin, to form Oasis in 84,

or in collaboration with Richard Stilgoe –

his creative talent easily opened each door.

 

A safe pair of hands on the piano,

and so gifted on the Organ too.

Our Home-grown talent from Bury –

Peter Skellern, may God bless you.

 

Thank You for the Music.

RIP  1947 – 2017
