Extremely talented, kind, generous and all round top bloke. Fantastic musician and illustrator and a wonderful record collection by all accounts. Always a treat to see what he's painting, collaging and playing.

Ronnie is my favourite export next to whisky, I love his taste, his songs and art. I think we should be twinned, Big Al Davies, Twinned in Glasgow with Ron.

What a thoroughly decent chap Mr Cassette is!
