14/07/17 - Drummer Ian Rose died last night [13thJuly] Our dear old friend had suffered from Parkinson disease for many years but never complained. Ian still ran his own band the Canal Street Stompers and he never missed a beat, a brilliant drummer. Last month Ian fell and broke his hip and was still recovering in hospital. Funeral details expected at the end of the month. We send deepest sympathy to Ann and her three daughters. Derek and Trish Galloway 14/07/17 - Dreadfully sorry to hear this. I used to work with Ian a lot during the 1970s & 80s, Regards, Laurie Cooper 15/07/17 - Ian Rose, lovely memories of my youth in Manchester. Bless. Sheila Collier 16/07/17 -
What a shame but probable also a
release, but sadly, Derek & Trish, you have still lost a
friend. 16/07/17 - How sad to
hear about Ian Rose. I played with him on the odd parade job
before I left the UK for warmer climes and didn't see him much
otherwise but he always greeted me as if we were old friends
when I turned up at any of his gigs; and it was always, without
any prompting, "fancy a knock?". 18/07/17 -
I too
saddened to hear about Ian Rose. Although haven't seen much of
him for the past fifty years or so, I do remember his drumming
and the fact that he was a travel agent in those days, like me.

Very sad to hear about Ian Rose. I
have many happy memories of him both as a drummer and a friend
with a great sense of fun. I think some will be interested in
this historic photograph from the Manchester Sports Guild 1966.
It was the last time George appeared in Britain. He died the
following year. |
