Gavin Clark - Clayhill and Sunhouse RIP

[glenda]

Just read this online and heard Gideon Coe play Cuban Green by Clayhill.

Fantastic voice and no real ego - I remember The Guardian saying that he was like someone who came to give you bad news about you boiler.

Sad news indeed. Sunhouse "Crazy on the weekend" is one of my favourite albums of all time.
The living room documentary available on YouTube gives some background to his life and music.

Yes, sad indeed. "Crazy on the Weekend" is one of my all time favourites too.
Apart from the music, he could take a sentiment, usually expressed in the same old way in glib run of the mill lyrics, something you have heard a thousand times before and draw you in to listen by the different way he perceived things.
RIP

Another crazy on the weekend lover here, far too early in life to go.
