Sad News

We were very saddened to hear of the death of Martyn Bennett after a long battle with cancer.

Martyn's album 'Grit' has been our prize for a number of weeks now; in fact we are down to our last album. One reviewer described it like this: "On various levels this is an extraordinary album. The charismatic fiddler/bagpiper/dance innovator has endured a horrendous couple of years battling with cancer, and Grit - born of pain, passion, emotion and a very real sense of roots - is the immense response. Paradoxically it's tender yet explosive; ancient and futuristic; beautiful yet violent; scarred yet triumphant; quietly reflective yet full-on dance.... Remarkable stuff."

Ah it was truly a sad day, and such a sad thing for his family and friends, and for music...

Martyn will be missed and I'm happy to have the memories of truly amazing music and gigs that I went to see over the years...
