We're saddened by the passing of John McConnell, friend of the band.

Even the casual observer would note that there's been a big dose of passing over the last year or so. This one's a little closer to home.

John was a talented, passionate guy. We made a particular point of working with him, on his grand old 2 inch tape machine.

John was a gent of the old school and did not suffer fools lightly. I can quite clearly recall at least one 'frank and honest' conversation with him :-) Knowing that it was Ok to stand my ground with him was a personal milestone. Thanks John.

We were fortunate to have recorded with him. Vale John.
