Possibly inappropriate, but one of his sons died by falling off a cliff when on drugs about 200 metres down the road from where one of my best friends used to live, near Brighton. That friend now lives with my best friend, who tattooed Jethro Cave's finger years ago, who was a fan of my friend's noise band at the time, and demanded he do this bad tattoo for him at the time that they met, so he did. Then yh, he died last year as well. It's pretty weird and crazy.

Stunning tribute. Watching live, it initially seemed too slow/ different compared to the original version but in fact the slowed down version was genius for a funeral as was the omission of the ‘ginger lady’ verse and the changing of the lyrics / finality of the song being ‘over’. Such a difficult performance for a man whose young son literally ‘fell’ into heaven. Colm Mac Con Iomaire on the violin was superb and wonderfully understated and very reverent.
