Campbeltown has lost ones of its much loved and true characters, a big fella with a big heart and an even bigger laugh!
Glad I made it up to the flat on Hogmanay and also up to his mum and dads on New years night for the parties, was funny watching him boxing on the Nintendo Wii, in his kilt!!
Deepest thought go out to all the family.

The news still has'nt sunk in yet, poor Kenny my old comrade in pints at the Comm Tuesday night club.
I go back to Oban on Monday, it's quite a thought that we will never see Kenny again.


Rest well old friend.

Sincere condolences to all The Gilchrist family and friends of Kenny. I hope you can all eventually find comfort in the fact that he was such a well loved character. You are all very much in our thoughts and we have been remembering the good times and the belly laughs from the big guy! Always in our thoughts "Antennae"!
Much love from Agnes Iain Kirsten and all at MGC x

Some people threw parties; Kenny WAS a party, and everyone was invited.
Everybody that knew him can remember a time he made them laugh until their face hurt.

Now you’re with your heroes, bigfla, I hope Bon, Andrew and Uncle Ian have got their chuckle trousers at the ready. Thanks for the great music and the FANTASTIC memories. When they write that book we talked about, no-one will be able to believe it was all true, but there will be no need to exaggerate. The town will never be the same: it’s lost a hoora man but gained a true legend.

Thoughts with Beeshie, Al, Lesley, Morvern and all your very many best friends who loved you.

So stunned and upset to hear about Kenny, I just can't believe it. A brilliant person, I will miss him.

As it says on your Bebo page "a campbeltown man”.

Privilege to know you and our thoughts are with your family and friends at this extremely sad time. Will be sorely missed.

Got a few photos of you and as always smiling – that was just you – larger than life. p

I have to say that I am so sad about Kenny. I loved his songs, thought he had a great unique voice, and really thought he had so much potential. I was excited for him and the songwriter's night he was planning for the spring and thought it might be the start of something important. I know you all knew him and I only knew him from here and Bebo, but even with that little contact I feel someone special has been lost, how much greater must you all feel the loss. My sincerest sympathy to his family and his friends.

His #1 American fan,

Bobbie
