Dreadful news, and heard about it on facebook ,
Lou was a great guy , and although it was many years I went to school with him in Plumstead where Lou played the piano, and I sang in the school choir we often used to talk and hang out together about music. Like Lou I had long hair, in the days of course when I had hair. We went to quite a hard school, where having longer hair made you a target from the skin heads. We both kept the faith and he went on to play with Rory, and I had been a fan of taste, and when I heard the name Lou Martin I thought , I wonder if.......
I thought many times of contacting him after the stroke, and spoke to I think his sister. I did not want to impose, and well we never met.
I discussed taking some photos, but felt it was not right, I dunno. Forgetting the photos I am sad we did not meet again, we got on well, rest in peace Lou from an old friend......... ken
