Sad news if true. As a spotty youth all I could afford was bargain bin LPs, and one of the first I bought was Spring's album. Still a fave to this day, some 37 years later! Frankly I and no doubt Pat's friends & family could do without the flippant comments above. :(

As well as being producer, Pat also was engineer for some Van der Graff and Hammill.

TD, please understand that out of respect for relatives and friends, we need to substantiate news stories, particularly those reporting that someone had died. No disrespect to you intended though.Big smile

I dont care much for disrespect, but this is a lot worse.
 
The  clear implication was that Im a hoaxer;   that for some perverse reason I honed in on the LIVING Pat Moran.
 
That's akin to the sick scenario where you get a phonecall in the middle of the night  from some sad Nothing and your told your father has just died, when you know he is sleeping in the other room.

The Deacon, you are new here. We have new members posting scam and fake things here every day. You have to understand that. What was said was never personal.

Unique voice. SPRING were one of the unsung greats of the mellotron prog era.

If you were banned before why say it? If it is true then I guess you will be banned again.
