Sad news for any of you who knew or knew of Matt Armour. He was taken from us on Monday by an aneurysm. His wife Jane was with him at the end. Ironically (and Matt loved an irony)he had only recently been diagnosed with lung cancer.
Matt was a big man with a big heart and a smile to match, and as well as being a greatly respected songwriter was responsible for fostering many fledgling musicians (me amongst them) at the folk clubs and sessions he had been running for the last 40 years or so in the Stony Stratford area. His contribution to the music cannot be overestimated and he will be sorely missed. If you've never seen or heard him take a look at his Myspace page for a brief flavour of the man.
