Former band mate pays tribute to fallen prison officer Nick Medlin

Following the tragic death of Ventnor man, Nick Medlin, a touching tribute was shared by his work colleagues and family.

Those who knew Nick only recently, might not have realised that he was a keen musician and had played bass for punk band, The Boys, on their 2014 German tour.

He also played on their “Punk Rock Girl” video (see below).
