Qui est Rupert J Bettison ?

[Witchy Cow]

Je me suis acheté hier un album hommage à Tim Hardin, avec Alela Diane, Diagrams, Mark Lanegan, entre autres. Au dos du livret, on peut lire :

This album is dedicated to the memory of Rupert J Bettison
1969 - 2012

Mais qui est-il ? Quel rapport avec Tim Hardin ?

[Witchy Cow]

Voilà tout ce que j'ai pu trouver, je ne vois pas le rapport avec la musique ni Tim :

B. 31 December 1969
D. September 2012
Rupert died suddenly in September last year whilst enjoying an evening out with his friends. He was only 42 years old, fit and healthy, enjoying regular exercise.

Rupert was working as a quantity surveyor and living in London. He had been accepted by Melbourne University in Australia to study for a Masters degree in construction law which he was very much looking forward to following the collapse of his construction company he had previously ran successfully for ten years until it became a casualty of the 'great' recession. Rupert had applied to emigrate and was looking forward to starting a new life in Australia.

Rupert was an avid player and follower of cricket thanks in part to his days at Bramcote prep school and his brief time at Trent. He enjoyed his time at Trent, was based in Blake house, with Mr Ken Pye as his housemaster. His brother Dominic has very fond memories "I used to try and keep a brotherly eye on him from my house over at Shuker and I know he enjoyed those care free days".

Rupert is deeply missed by his friends and family.
