HE Blacktown community is mourning the loss of John Sieff of Sieff’s Music in Westpoint who unfortunately passed away in December last year. John opened his music shop in 1981, then Sieff’s Music World, and for the next 45 years he became an integral part of the Blacktown music scene. He was the longest serving tenant at Westpoint, relocating four times within the shopping centre. During the 1970s and 80s Westpoint had a centre stage where top entertainers performed. Pop musician Jon English was set to perform on stage one day when he broke his guitar string. Jon entered Sieff’s Music but at the time John only sold organs. More: page 3.
