mrbuzzardstubble Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 R.I.P Hugh Masekela We got to see him perform at Womad some years ago. After the gig got to meet him and have a disc autographed. Not only a great musician, but a great man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benje Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 @frankn introduced him musically to me - I'm shocked. I didn't realise he was 78. RIP Benje 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearmint Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Sad news indeed. I was with the SNA group who saw him live in Hamer Hall. I'll spin a few of his tunes on the way home this evening RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain.j Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Just the other day I pulled out Hope and gave it a spin for the first time in ages. Recorded live, it’s a beautifully produced record and is a really good test for any system. Sad to hear of his death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
