And so it came to pass … at some point in the early ‘80s I saw the band Felt at Middlesbrough Town Hall Crypt supported by/ or supporting The Weather Prophets. I was a fan of their music and they were … okay, I think … at one point, the singer Lawrence
I saw Felt a few times. Always a shambolic affair, but with incredibly unique and well-crafted songs played by amazing musicians over compelling narrative lyricism sung by a beguiling Lawrence, who, I believe, the NME once described as "Lou Reed on quaaludes." They weren't the same after Maurice left, taking his genius jingle-jangle with him, but Martin's subsequent organ work on Forever Breathes... was, erm, a breath of fresh air.

Yep, Maurice was a lovely guitarist.
