It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Chris Groucutt sadly passed away on Monday morning 2nd January 2017 . As you can understand, this has come as a complete shock and we are at a loss for words, we are sure many of you will be too. His wife and two children would appreciate privacy at this difficult time.

This kind of sad and shocking event reminds us we never know what's around the corner, and that we shouldn't put off enjoying life and good health while we have it.
RIP Chris and condolences to the Groucutt family.

My condolences are with his relatives, family and friends He seemed a really nice bloke on FB... down to earth and quick to dispel old or freshly made BS surrounding his father. May he rest in peace.

This is very sad news.
I greatly admire anyone who is fiercely proud and protective of a family legacy and there is much to be proud of.
RIP Chris.

As most of you know (lookin at you Helmut83) can’t stand this song. Now, hearing this song on acoustic, modest vocals, all over-production stripped, well done. You can "get" the song. It’s the same with Steppin Out. Jeff’s acoustic of this song is far superior to the original. Would love him perform his songs, as Clapton did, without the kitchen sink.
