I’m sad to have to let you know that guitbrett passed away this morning. I don’t have any further details (just a FaceAche post from his longtime friend, Tom Newman)

F*CK!!! So sorry to hear that.
Paul was a lovely man, and a great friend to our Forum in it's earlier days and known personally to many of us here.
Such a loss. Condolences to Michele.
RIP, Paul, keep on plucking...

Very sad, really shocked - he was so excited about getting the Llyn Guitar Festival up and running again after Covid - very happy memories, a top bloke and great guitarist.

Apparently a very short illness. Very sad, another one gone.

I remember him at Hebden. Lovely guy. Great guitarist and a very decent voice, too. RIP Paul.

Very sad news. I didn't know Paul, but I watched plenty of videos of him. I recall trying out one of his parlours once in a shop in Gloucester. Absolutely outstanding guitar.

A real shame to read this news.
I remember sharing some exchanges with him on the old forum, he was a gent.

Never met him but watched loads of his videos.
A life well lived.
