Very sad to announce that Martin Hall, last surviving member of UK trio 'Jolly Jack', has passed away. He had been ill for a while but refused to let it affect his life and died while holidaying on the Isle of Skye.

Larger than life in every sense Martin had a marvellous bass voice that you could feel as much as hear. Brilliant on whatever instrument he picked up, including accordion, concertina and guitar. Also one of the best builders I have ever come across. His sense of humour was brilliant too. He had me in stitches on many occasions both performing and carrying out work on my house!

He will be early missed by his family and many friends.

RIP Martin
