I feel a bit sorry no-one thought enough of him to post a tribute seeing as they stuck at their act nearly all the way through to the end...

I hadn’t seen it in the news. Martin very much the one I remember from the band who were properly huge in the U.K. for a while. Various versions of the band since 1969 and Martin joined in 1973 for the best known line up and gigging on and off until 2020. RIP.

I saw this a couple of weeks ago but didn't feel particularly qualified to start a thread.  I was a bit sad that it didn't get much news coverage, they were very popular for a few years.

I remember reading a feature about them a few years back, still travelling around the UK in a little van and staying at B&Bs (I may be misrepresenting them there, but it was that sort of level).  I thought wouldn't it be better to just get a day job?

I think they came from a time when people settled for a lot less. RIP
