We heard this morning that Brian 'BJ' Jeffery had past away after his long illness, yet another sad loss to music.
BJ worked tirelessly to promote Blues/Rock in the north west not only through Radio Lancashires 'Lancashire Blue Notes' program with Nick Dow but also through his own Blues club in Chorley where we first met and had the pleasure of working with him.

God bless you 'BJ'

Condolancies and Best wishes to his family and many friends, our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

This is a transcript of an email I received to-day from his widow PAT
and daughter GEORGINA.....I think it says it all, he was 51 years old.
.
To all wonderful clients of Harmonious Healthcare - past and present
and Blues Fans/Musicians
.
We are heartbroken to tell you that the irreplaceable BJ a precious husband to Pat, darling Daddy to Georgina and most wonderful brother to his twin sister Alison and Steve, lost his courageous battle with his illness on Saturday at 4.45pm. He never complained and remained positive that he was going to 'beat this'.
.
Thank you all for being his friend and offering your support and love throughout the years you have known him - he touched a lot of people's lives and you will all have your own special memories of what a kind, loving, genuine and big hearted person he truly was - one in a million!
.
Much love to all of you,
Pat & Georgina
