Such a bummer.  Definitely a fixture especially during college days

Great story about Terry Hall and Suggs taking the piss out of each other in a pub

Awful news…between him and Terry Hall, WTF. I remember buying Martin a shot of Jameson at the backbar after a Primal Scream gig in like 2009 I think. Really nice guy. So sad about him and Terry.

Martin died as a result of a fall at his home  :'(  and from people who knew him, he was quite the character… he once told some that "mushrooms were the cheese of the forest" 

obviously Martin Duffy was a key participant in "Echo Dek" one of my favorite all time albums

need to dive into some of the later Felt albums as they were really never on my radar but a huge influence on bands i've enjoyed over the years

That's absurd. Cashews are the cheese of the forest – ask any vegan.

Same cause of death as the recently departed DH Peligro. I'm going to move to a home without stairs. (Though obviously there are other ways to fall.)

He should have known better – the danger was right there in his name.

Ha ha! That’s good

Pluto TV's Vevo '80s video channel is doing a Terry Hall tribute right now. Mostly Specials so far; one Fun Boy Three.
