Just read on the BBC news that the legendary Toots Hibbert has sadly died aged 77 Sad Saw him perform with The Maytals a few years back at Womad Festival, under a large umbrella as it was rather rainy..But me and dh stayed for the whole set, it was totally worth it. RIP Toots.

We saw them at WOMAD that year too. Very rainy but the kids absolutely loved the set so we stayed for the whole thing. RIP.

I had a listen to some of his music earlier in the car, and took some time to remember him Smile Also watched his set at Glastonbury on the tv in June, marvelled at his energy - and outfit!! I think he was meant to play Womad a few years before he did, it was suddenly cancelled due to him getting hit in the head by a bottle at another gig. According to the BBC article, the person who threw the bottle was arrested but Toots wrote to the judge to ask if he could be lenient with sentencing as the offender was so young, and that he knew what prison can do to a young man. Liked that story.
