MARTIN BIRCH R.I.P.

Very sad to hear of Martin Birch's passing. Meeting Martin at the
start of the 70's, was a pivotal moment in our lives. He was our sound
engineer at a time when the experience of live shows was coming into the
studio. He managed to capture the beast, particularly on Hard Loving
Man. He bonded with us immediately, had the same sense of humour, and
was thoroughly professional. As we noted then, when we were discovering
ourselves, he was the catalyst.

Our thoughts go out to Vera and all his family and friends.
