Friends and family of Chorlton legend John Daly have paid heartfelt tribute to him following his death.
John Daly, who died aged 55, has been described as a 'well known' and 'much loved' community figure in Chorlton and Stretford. In the 1980s, he worked as a driver and roadie for many bands before starting to organise gigs and events - and even his own resort festival in Bulgaria.
A funding appeal for the 'generous' music-lover's funeral bought significant donations from many people, who have praised his 'kind' and 'gentle' soul.
