Oh no-I've seen and met Vic on many occasions,a fantastic bloke and brilliant songwriter.I am genuinely cut up about this-About To Choke is one of my favourite albums of all time.

I think a lot of people think the same.  He was very free with his time.  I met him at the bloomsbury theatre some years ago (as a double whammy I also met Mark Eitzel, another brilliant writer, who was with him).  He was as has been said a real gent. 

There always seem to be a couple of deaths over christmas, but his is one that I genuinely feel sad about.
