RIP Ian Luff

Great driving rhythm player, wrote some cracking tunes. A huge influence on me and many others. Also very encouraging to Mart and me in the early Jabadaw days. :-(

The musicians are playing fiddle, clarinet, soprano saxophone, English bagpipes, hurdy-gurdy, and cittern.
L-R: Miranda Rutter, Jo Veal, me, Chris Walshaw, Martin Keates, Ian Luff.

Listening to A Richer Dust. The moment when the bass kicks in on New Jigs lifts up your heart and sends a chill down your spine at the same time.
