Tributes to 'Chorlton hero' John Daly who 'helped everybody' and launched festival

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.
