Sad news indeed. Had great fondness and respect for Matt as a writer, performer and more recently as a friend. One real highlight for Helen and me was to be asked by Matt himself to perform with him at Scarborough Seafest in July 2007 in a concert designed to illustrate his life & career through the medium of his own songs. What a day that was! Sincere condolences to Jane and the rest of Matt's family. You've lost someone very special.
