Vale Greg Rough
12 APRIL, 1951 – 26 JULY, 2025
In the photo L-R Kev, Greg, Rob, Mark – the founding fathers of Paradiddle at a reunion gig some years ago
Greg was a founding member of Paradiddle, along with Rob Fairbairn, Mark Leehy and Kevin O’Mara.
Over 45 years our paths crisscrossed in all sorts of ways. No surprise, then, that some of Greg’s work spilled over into Bushfire press, to whom he was a songwriter, musician … and even a video folk dance and Tai Chi demonstrator! He was a joy to work with and a joy to be with and he will always be a brother to us.
Goodbye brother, you had a heart like diamonds.
A song for Greg.
Years ago (25, in fact) the team wrote a song to celebrate Greg’s 50th birthday … but we never got round to a recorded version. So the team assembled at the Upwey studio to finally do so, and in doing so create some memories of Greg for his family, friends and fans.
