Jackie Nelson RIP
Warm tributes have been paid to leading Northern Ireland country and easy-listening singer Jackie Nelson, who died last week in hospital after suffering an illness, aged 62.
Jackie from Co Down, was one of the best known personalities on the Irish cabaret scene and over a 40-year singing career he recorded a number of popular albums.
In years gone by, he regulary worked Central Scotland for Alloa based Forefront promotions.
Probably his best known song was the Christmas hit, "Walking Talking Dolly"
Last month he was to have launched his latest DVD album Memories of Ireland in Newcastle but the show was cancelled due to his illness.
