Still reeling from the news that Nina died yesterday. A vibrant talented woman , a premie musician who since leaving the cult has gone from strength to strength musically. I had no idea she was ill having exchanged comments with her on Facebook only a few days ago. She was an active participant on this forum in the noughties, posting under a different name. A violin player, she lived in Bath and a few years ago formed a brilliant little band called Radio Banksa. The following was written by a band member.
The absolute best times of my life were spent playing music alongside Nina Trott,spanning a period of over thirty years. This morning, as they say, she lost her battle against cancer’ and passed away, breaking my heart and the hearts of her partner Louis and son Joe. I will leave this page up on Facebook for the present, as the seven year Radio Banska project was the greatest thing we achieved together – but of course the band cannot continue without her. I gave the sad news to one of the original Banska members today and he referred to her as a “lovely, warm-hearted, slightly bonkers and hugely compassionate free spirit”. I can’t improve on that description.

I totally echo your sentiments. I was talking on FB just the other day and am floored by hearing she died. I had no idea she was ill. She really was a lovely person..intelligent, fun and a bit wacky..all the things that I like in people  Also she was a great violinist. We played in a premie band together briefly with Guru Charanand and even did a gig in the eighties at Glastonbury Festival. Sad.

She played with Blue Aquarius and then with Salutations and with other bands. She was great. I have shared time with her in and out of the cult. I find myself feeling overwhelmed with love for all those people I shared such precious times with and it hurts to watch them go. How good it is to be alive! Carpe Diem..

Nina was a kind and sweet person who sent me a CD of her music years ago. She was a brilliant violinist. Tom and I both loved the album so much and listened to it a lot. Nina had so much talent and soul. That's a gift.
I'm sad to hear she died knowing she was so close to her partner and son. Both are shocking, difficult losses.
My best to her family and friends.
