Tom Bennett was my dad. He sadly passed away 18 months ago, but we still refer to him as 'Bass-man'. His moment of fame rubbed off and the whole family have since been involved in music one way or another. This webpage is new to us and it's absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much for giving us this gem to smile about. Love you always Dad xxx
