Subject: RE: Tell Me About Martin Windsor
Having only recently joined the ranks of the silver surfers may we belatedly add our tribute to messrs Sullivan & Windsor. When we ran the Cellar in the 60s they appeared on many occasions always enter taining and often available to jump into the breach when the booked artist let us down.The combination of Martin's terrific voice and fund of songs from all over plus Redd's irrepressible humour and approach to a song be it blues or music hall always went well with our audience We were honoured to call them friends.Upon their passing Colin Wilkie another good mate wrote songs in tribute to both of them "The captain of the O&O line in which you can hear Redd in every line and "Even oak trees fall" an elegaic tribute to the quieter side of Martin which many people never saw. The folk world is duller for the passing of these two
