I WAS sorry to hear of the death of John "Jellyhead" Gilroy in the Bolton Evening News.
His contribution to the thriving popular poetry scene in Bolton was enormous and he will be sadly missed. He was a selfless person, and a one-man poetry crusade. We shall miss him at the pub-based readings he ran and inspired. Our Poetry Night at the Octagon Theatre Bar on Tuesday, September 21, will be dedicated to him, and I'm sure he'll be there in spirit.
