At 1:09pm on Tuesday July 6 2010, Paul "Felts" Felton passed away peacefully at Armadale Hospital. He was surrounded by Family, Friends & Music.
Paul was a tremendous friend and inspiration to many people locally and around the world. He will remain in our hearts and memories as one of our finest treasures - a true and humble leader, a talented and sincerely great man and dear friend to all. Paul's presence will be sorely missed. (RIP, brother to us all.)
Felts joins the guitar greats who have gone before him, perhaps to play a raging rendition of "All Along The Watchtower" at the greatest gig in the sky.
Fittingly, there will be a celebration to honour Paul Felton's life at 'JETS: A Reason To Rock'.
We will see you all there. "May the force be with you".

We'll miss you mate, Bill.
A message from Brett Lyons that summed things up beautifully: --
Wonderful send off for PAUL FELTON yesterday. Good Service followed by excellent time at Southern River Tavern. So much talent in one place, everybody played with great spirit. So many wonderful people in a small tight knit industry with gifted energy. Thank You. R.I.P.
Not You, i believe that you certainly retained a lot of Good, and a fraction of "Bad"as is a pre requisite for any Rock & Roll Dude ...
Not too far behind you Paul, none of us are !!!!
