Denis Taylor - RIP
Following the recent loss of Arnold Corn’s guitarist Mark Pritchett, I am very sad to report the death of Lower Third guitarist, Denis 'T-Cup' Taylor. Denis died suddenly at his home in Margate last week. He was in his 84th year.
Please check Phil Lancaster’s ‘Birth of Bowie’ Facebook page for a personal message from Phil.

R. I. P. Denis 'T-Cup' Taylor.
I am sorry to tell you of the passing of Denis Taylor.
Denis, as you know, was the lead guitarist in The Lower Third. He was a sweet guy and we remained good friends up until his passing last week.
A true 'character' in the 60's music scene, Den was well liked, particularly by David.
Den even helped David with some of his early song writing.
Condolences to Denis' family and close local friends.
