Danny Madigan was a friend of the Tavistock band Well Red who was had at least a dozen cases for his child in the family courts but even though his wife didn’t turn up, they wouldn’t let him have any sort of custody, and practically no visits etc. This went on for years and he went on the booze and drank himself to death literally .
A spokesperson for the band said “He was a lovely guy, and he used to go on holiday with us and our their children, so so sad. We supported our mate as best we could, even had social workers round our house to meet us. At the end of the day they wouldn’t put the wife in jail for perjuring the court, as then the daughter wouldn’t have a mother and by then she didn’t know her father that well. It was such an awful situation”
