CHRIS DAGLEY RIP
Our amazing drummer Chris Dagley has been tragically killed, whilst driving home on his scooter. It happened on tuesday night after a glorious night where he once again dazzled us with his incredible drumming. As a drummer he will be missed, but as a friend he will be missed more. Chris simply was unique and everybody loved him. The Musical world is in deep shock. My heart is with his beautiful family who were the reason his world was a happy one…
This photo will be the last one taken of Chris, as it was taken literally an hour before the fatal journey on a iphone app that made pictures into vintage photo’s- which he was fascinated by!

The drumming community has lost a great man. The world of jazz has lost an amazing musician. Our thoughts are with his family, and you James. Steve
Our thanks go to James and all those people, not only at Ronnies, but throughout the musical world who have made our son so happy in his work over the years. His untimely death has been a hammer blow to his family and a great loss to the world of music.
We love you Chris and miss you terribly, the void impassable, the mist impregnable, our only comfort is knowing how musch you achieved in so short a life. RIP.
This is such a tragic loss and I still cannot believe that this has happened. He is in the arms of our lord now.
