We're extremely sorry to hear today of the passing of our long time fellow organiser and local artist Darren Beachill.
Darren gave his time and considerable talent freely to CMF and other local festivals by providing artwork and stage back drops. He would never take anything other than cash for materials, he considered it an honour to support his community.
He was actively involved with a number of events like Party on The Pit, Summer of Love, Conisbrough Music Fest as well as the Tour de Yorkshire where he painted a mural on top of Seafish Restaurant. He was a big supporter of the Remembrance Sunday Event and always displayed his fantastic painting in Coronation Park of Conisbrough VC winner Sgt. Laurence Calvert.
Darren will be remembered by us a humble guy with a great talent who loved his community. We send our heartfelt condolences and thoughts to his family and wider group of friends who will miss him dearly.
Thanks for the memories Daz.
