Sue Collier: So incredibly sad to hear the news in August of the passing of the lovely Dave Chumbley. Dave was always a supporter of regional Promoter's and his warmth, humour and generosity was always felt even in the shrewdest of business dealings. We were allies together through many Rufus Wainwright tours and his beaming personality was always a welcome sight backstage as we enjoyed many a potty mouth swear off together. When Daves number would flash up on my phone I would already be smiling before answering it.
