Shocked & saddened to learn of the passing of Andrew ‘Lainey’ Laing. We became friends not long after my parents moved to Red House in 1976 when I was 9 years old and just over a decade later we were sharing the most amazing musical adventures – releasing records, recording John Peel sessions & playing gigs at home and abroad, experiences that had previously seemed inconceivable to a bunch of punk rockers from a ten-bob town in the North East of England. Lainey carried on with those adventures for many years after but I’m honoured to have shared those early ones with him. Condolences and love to his family and friends.
