Just heard the sad news today. I first met Matt in Stony Stratford in about 1978, when I caught him putting up posters for his club over the top of my posters for the one I was running in the next town! Uncharacteristic of the man I'm sure, but after all I was poaching on his patch! And what a man he was. We've been friends ever since, and I've enjoyed many times singing and playing at The Loft and Stony Live. He worked tirelessly for folk music and the community and will be greatly missed by many people. My thoughts, and those of countless others, are with you Jane. Alan Horton
