It's ten years (okay, and twelve days, calendar pedants) since Martin Rossiter released an EP of covers entitled The Defenestration of Prince (and others). It built on the release of his similarly titled debut solo album, and included this quite lovely Prince cover.
Here's the Prince original, for those that like to compare and contrast.
There were no more albums to come, sadly, and Martin retired with a farewell gig at the Forum Kentish Town in November '21. It was one of the best, if not the best gig I have ever been to. Still gutted that it was the end.
Yes, he's much missed.
ReplyDeleteToo right. Sad face emoji, as I understand the kids (probably no longer) have it.
DeleteWho said this was the end?....See what I did there! Incredible gig for sure.
ReplyDeleteI like what you did there.
