Terry Moynihan 1945 - 2009So sad to hear Terry 'Steel' Moynihan passed away last Friday. Terry was our first roadie after Mum and became our companion and protector through the early years of EBB when we were with Blackhill. When we moved to WWA in 1972 he jumped ship because he didn't like the new setup and with hindsight he was right on!
When fellow Midlander Chris 'Miffy' Smith came down to London to drive the band by car I remember Terry was a little put out and there followed many crazy nights after gigs when we would race back to town, us in our hired Zephyr 4 and Steel in his souped up Tranny. I'll always remember his look one night when he sailed past us on a motorway after having left the show a good hour after we had. They were a great team along with Dick Beaumont and Dirk Sommer amongst others.
We remained friends over the years and the last time I saw him was at my 50th party and he hadn't changed a bit, still fiercely independent and singleminded and happy.
I'll remember you like that Terry, thanks for everything.
Rest in Peace.

very sad to hear that.
P.x
Terry was a great part of the Broughtons 'family,he had a great sense of humour, a taste for good beer and humongously smelly feet!
He was brilliant in difficult times and helped me out a great deal.
I miss you 'Tell' as I am sure all of us do.............
Thanks for everything,
Nigel.
It's not too much to say that he and Dick saved my life back in 69 up in Burghley Road...
Bit late but have searched everywhere for info about Terry. We loved each to bits and in 1970 I searched all over Coventry after being told he was looking for me too. But had to leave for NI and a new job and never saw him again.
Does Terry have any family (apart from Andrew 'Ange' Moynihan? Would love to know where he died etc.
Yes he had 3 sons and a sister
