Very sad news of the passing of Christine Hanslip who passed away peacefully at home on Monday 23rd July.
Christine along with her husband Roger was a founder member of the Prospect/ Runcorn folk club. A lovely singer and guitarist she often accompanied many club singers with her guitar playing and mainly as a duo with long-time friend Carol Coxon producing beautiful harmonies together. A talented musician also on piano or accordion and very funny writer of some great monologues. One of the loveliest ladies you could ever meet, always with a smile and nothing phased her. She will be sadly missed by lots of people that have had the pleasure of knowing her and there will be a very big hole left on the folk scene that she has graced with her presence for so many years. Tony & Anne Toy.
