Marc Ellington. From RT on FB
Very sorry to hear this. He was a bridge between Fairport & The Burritos. Made some fine LPs & played the judge on "Billy The Orphan Boy's Lonely Christmas" RIP. He was a 'special guest' at Crops a few years ago. Half the crowd probably didn't know who he was or that he had been on a FC album. |

We got to meet him and his wife at their magnificently restored castle, Towie Barclay in Aberdeenshire, on Nancy Covey's 2007 festival tour. He told us stories about RT, Sandy, Trevor, and the rest, jamming in the living room. R.I.P. |

Paul I think so. Maybe some Scottish title relating to his castle. |

Paul I think so. Maybe some Scottish title relating to his castle. He was amongst others appointed Deputy Lieutenant of Aberdeenshire in 1984. ["Deputy lieutenants support the work of the lord-lieutenant. There can be several deputy lieutenants at any time, depending on the population of the county. Their appointment does not terminate with the changing of the lord-lieutenant, but they usually retire at age 75."] |

In NYC Latin music circles, Pachecho was a massive name. What I love about most Fania records from the 70’s heyday is they sounded so great sonically. Even if your stereo is set to a lower number, they still leap out at you.

Not a professional musician, AFAIK, but definitely influential on Bob Dylan and many others... Lawrence Ferlinghetti, at the age of 101.

I once bought a Kurt Vonnegut novel from him. Well, I lived in San Francisco Bay Area during the 90s and I bought lots of books from his store, but his hands put my copy of Hocus Pocus in a paper bag. He was a proper icon, and City Lights is the best bookshop in the world. RIP Mr Ferlinghetti, and thanks Nick |

It's entirely possible we also traded directly with Mr. Ferlinghetti, although I don't remember. Mrs. J From A discovered a wonderful author, John Fante, at City Lights. RIP. |

Certainly an influence on Tom Russell |

It still vexes me that the records Bunny and Peter made with Bob have all since been rebranded as "Bob Marley and the Wailers". It's rewriting history. They were The Wailers. Bob may have been the dominant voice, but not the only voice.
Rank in peace, Bunny.
