Tribute from Greg Doolan–
‘In all my years and successes with my fellow Wak family I have never been so moved on any stage in the world. Pahnies performance at Twin Towns on the 17/3/13 will go down in my musical history as singularly the greatest moment of my career so far. I am so proud to have had the chance to share the stage with such greatness. I love you Pahnie and thank you for being so important in my life.’
