For Rich Dufty.

So very sad to hear about the recent death of Rich. A talented artist & designer, family man & good friend to many, a great guy gone way too soon.

I didn't know him very well really but always enjoyed good times whenever our paths crossed over the last 20 years. We've been in touch a bit recently about his art, I love his recent work & am very happy we have a couple of prints.

He was always supportive of my various mixtape projects & I'm grateful for that. I was hoping to send this mixtape to Rich to listen to when he was in hospital, but the weekend I recorded it it was clear he wouldn't ever hear it. So I'm sharing it now as a tribute to Rich, I think he would have liked it. I was definitely sending love & positive vibes from Avoca to Brighton while I was recording it.

If you enjoy these tunes, please have a look at this fundraiser page & donate if you can, it's been set up to support Rich's wife & two girls:
