Shame, I only read of this today and wasn't aware Lou Martin passed away last year.
I have fond memories of Rory and this band playing the Manchester Apollo when I had hair to shake about!

Very sad to hear but it will come to all of us one day

How loud depended on how many I'd had in Cox's bar before the show.

They were great years, AC/DC, Blue Oyster Cult, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jethro Tull, Dr Feelgood.... The list goes on!

Rod De'Ath was imo the best exponent of the blues/rock shuffle I ever heard, very sad to learn of his passing.
