[Music] RIP Martin Duffy

[Pevenseagull]

I'll leave other people to go over his work as I'm a bit upset as he was a mate.

Suffice to say 55 is no age.

 

[Albion Robster]

Awful news.
He only lived down the road from me in Hove and dated my next door neighbour for a bit as well. Only saw him last week walking to Tesco’s Express. RIP Duffy.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Duffy and Terry Hall within 24 hours? FFS.

Heard about this on a music site. So sorry and yeah 55 is no age

Just in Resident, they are playing Screamadelica - bringing tears to my eyes.
RIP sand condolences to those that knew him.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Been a fan and have seen them many times over the years.
RIP

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Huge fan here. This is terrible news, following on so quickly from Terry Hall.

It will be the 20 year anniversary of Joe Strummer's death on Thursday. A sombre week.

 

[Motogull]

He played in two hugely influential bands. Screamadelica is probably my most played and favourite 'LP'.

Another terrible loss.

 

[BN9 BHA]

RIP.
More sad news, not a good day.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Well, this is f***ing shit.

 

[zefarelly]

Last saw him Aug BH W/E with a mutual friend. Tragic news. I didn't know him that well, but a lovely guy, great fun ( too good a drinker) and a fine musician.

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Sad news. RIP

Another terrible loss.

That run of Screamadelica, Give Out…., Vanishing Point and XTMNTR was quite special and coincided with a fun and youthful period of my life. I feel very saddened by this loss; more that I thought I’d be.

By the statement given out by his son, it sounds like both Bobby Gillespie and Andrew Mcinnes done him dirty.

Cutting him out of song writing royalties, making him a touring musician, not paying him for work he did on Gillespie’s solo album. Leaving him in debt and forced to claim benefits.

Have also read the statement. I thought his son wrote it in a very fair way, recognising his father's weaknesses whilst not going overboard in his comments about Gillespie and McInnes.

They come out of this very badly.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Stinky bastards

So sad to hear how he had been shafted by those ****s a really lovely bloke and an amazing musician

It's the not going to his funeral as well. Then eulogising about him separately?

With friends like that eh?

 

[Albion Robster]

Agreed, very classy and grown up statement from his son.
Lets not forget his son found him as well, which will have everlasting effects on him.
Just a very sad story how it ended for Duffy.
