Terry Monaghan, Lindy Hop Historian, Passes Away
What a huge loss for the world. Terry’s contrubutions in the preservation & exploration of Lindy Hop across the world cannot be overstated.
From Yehoodi.com:
We regret to pass along the sad news that Mr. Terry Monaghan, longtime historian of lindy hop from the UK, has passed away. Terry was co-founder of the legendary Jiving Lindy Hoppers dance troupe in the 1980s and a long-time chronicler of the history of lindy hop.
This is what we received from Elliott Donnelly earlier today:
Terry Monaghan passed away yesterday from pneumonia caused by complications from treatment he was receiving for a brain tumor.
There will be a service on July 9th in London and another service sometime in the future in the States.
Terry is survived by his wife Aileen and daughter Jenny.
They are accepting letters and cards at the following address
Aileen Monaghan 35 Newton Avenue London W38AR United Kingdom
Please continue on to the Yehoodi thread to comment on Terry & all he’s done for the history and current community of Lindy Hop.
