<p>I´m now an infrequent visitor to this site because my playing* is limited by arthritis in my left hand. This is very sad news. Clem emailed me last August to tell me he was ceasing publication of the BMG magazine due to illness, but I have only just caught up. I have purchased several instruments and accesories from Clifford Essex over the years and always appreciated Clem´s personal service. Very sad.</p>
<p><br/>(* It was never that great anyway ...)</p>

<p>Very sorry to hear of the passing of Clem Vickery who i only met a few times over the years but we corresponded regularly when i was writing the 'From A Bath Chair' articles for his B.M.G. magazine. Clem was a fine banjo player and a joy to hear, he revived the CE. Co and B.M.G. about twenty years ago and maintained the high standards of the original company, his wife Jenny encouraged him in this project, I met her only once, she was a charming woman and sadly died a few years ago.</p>
