Earlier this afternoon I learnt the sad news that John Bamford passed away last night after a long battle with cancer
John was an industry stalwart for the best part of four decades, John had aabeen editor of some of the UK's top audio publications as well as a long tenure with Pioneer GB and in the last deacde a well respected reviewer for Hifi News.
Above all that John was a good friend and throughly decent kind hearted individual who' love of music was infectious as was his humour!
He never let his illness get him down even when he was at a low ebb one of the few decent chaps in this business, the industry has lost a great ambassador and very knowledgeable gent, we have lost a good friend best wishes to his close family
John Bamford RIP 2018
