We are sorry to hear of the passing of Robin Guy. Robin was an extraordinary drummer whose power and finesse made him one of the most in demand players on the scene. He first came into our view playing for underrated but influential band Rachel Stamp adding his unique power and dynamics to their enthralling glam punk indie sleaze. He also went on to play with All About Eve, Sham 69 and many others with his CV reflecting the respect he was held in on the scene.
More important than any of this was that he was a wonderful human being and always a pleasure to bump into at festivals where his whirlwind energy and upbeat demeanour was the same in and off stage. He fought his cancer with this same attitude and continued to play as much as he could and defiance and openness about his condition was inspirational.
Godspeed brother.
