We were really saddened to hear the news of Sylvia's death, I liked her a lot and we had some good laughs.....one memory that always makes me smile.....at a Keele allnighter, dancing to a run of out and out oldies....seeing Sylvia going for it too I waved, when the record finished I went up to her and said 'bloody hell Sylvia I've danced to some 'crap' tonight', she replied, 'yeah, me too, f**king great innit', and it was........our heart felt sympathy to you and yours Ady.

Out, out brief candle.

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more.

Hi Ady

So very sorry to hear this, my condolances go out to you & all your family. When you was helping me with my book and the amount of times I came over to your place, I was always made so very welcome by Sylvia and yourself. Very sad.

Terrible news. With deepest sympathy Ady, Miles and Hannah

I never knew Sylvia very well but I remember her from 1980s/early 90s visits to the 100 Club like it was yesterday. Very shocked and sorry to hear this news, Ady.

Extremely upsetting news, i'm so sad Ady for you & your family!

I only ever really spoke to Sylvia at the Cleethorpes weekenders but she came across as a really lovely lady.

Sincere condolences

Heard about Sylvia at the weekend. Couldn't believe it. It makes you realise that you must cherish each day.

We didn't know Sylvia really well but she was always friendly and we had some good chats about clothes in the ladies loos.!

We hope all her family draw some confort from how much she was liked and loved.

Be strong

With our love
