In Memory of Ralph Clucas

Ralph. Deepest sympathy to Tina, Liam and Ralph's family. Ralphy, you were our great bass player which you made look effortless and so cool. We're glad you were our friend. We'll miss your funny stories of the 80s. The memories of our gigs and laughs at practice will never be forgotten and neither will you. "More light and shade boys". Love you Ralphy.- Your bandmates Nick, Simon, Scotty, Spud, Chris, Karl and Dave.

As you no by now, Ralph sadly passed away on Thursday. He will be sadly missed as a friend ,father, husband and musician. myself and Nicola would like to thank you all for playing at our charity event in March for the 'Children's Heart Fund'. As I worked with Ralph he was only to happy to offer your services as a band. He was a great friend and a great character, we will miss him deeply. Many thanks, Paul Kay.

Dear band, just reading the daily mail, so shocked to hear about the death of Ralph. We had our ups and downs sometimes, would you believe actually on stage. I had not seen him for many years, but deepest sympathy to family and friends, from Gav Carey Drummer with the Outfit- 1985-1987.

Hi Guys! Just thought I would take a moment to say a personal thankyou for all of your efforts.
I must say that my Uncle and greatest friend was and will always be the coolest member in your band. However, I much appreciate the time and effort which has gone into the memorial for Ralph.
Cheers Guys, I know he would want you all to party on forever and leave many more memories for your fans and families to remember. From me personally, thankyou all for being great friends to Ralph and supporting him to the sudden end. He will get you all back for telling all how old he really was!! Take care and make sure you all party on in his honour, you have all done him proud. Keep it real guys!
Oh and Cheers Craig Stanni for the lovely comments, forever friendsXX

R.I.P
Just wanted to pass on my condolences to Ralph's family, friends and band mates.
I met Ralph whilst he was resident bass player (with my cousins husband Richard Grant) at the Southcoates club in Hull and yes he was cool wasn't he?!

I remember he was always pleased to pass on any advice or useful information and always in such a manner that he didn't come across as a "know it all".

I am living in Spain now but have kept an eye on the website . It is always sad that anyone is taken so young in life but even more so when it is a decent, loving, hardworking family man such as Ralph.
I am sure it will be very difficult for those who were close to Ralph to come to terms with their loss and i hope time really is "a great healer" for them.
