Hi Philip,
Thank you for posting this for me. Jim was a very dear friend and one of the most likable people you could ever meet, as you know yourself.
Jim was also an ardent supporter of the club and this plus his music became of increasing importance to him as his illness developed.
We will all miss him beyond words.

Des.

I Have Known Jim Tully from around the 1980s when we both worked in Short Brothers Belfast, And got to know him more
over the Years, A real nice Genuine Man that I can say I was Proud to have known, I remember him telling me once that he had Sent his Beloved Strat over to England to get
re-fretted and a few days later the luthier rang him up, and asked him was he Mad! lol what are you thinking off sending this Guitar Uninsured or maybe it was Underinsured i can't recall, When he told jim the Value of his Beloved Strat
he said he Near fell of the Chair, Although a real Serious kinda Guy, he made me Laugh at that.. I will miss ya gentleman Jim....
