John Sharp 1964 – 2009

I was lucky enough to work with John over a few years.  I first met him when he was producing and writing Blue Lines with Massive Attack at the Coach House when I was a tea boy: later I got to know him as a friend and a mentor. 
The enormity of his influence and ideas on British music is sadly never likely to be acknowledged. 

His influence on me was ginormous and he will be missed. 

Our thoughts are with his family.

A true "unknown" legend amongst most common music lovers, the  impact of this loss is well understood on the other side of the pond. Thanks for reminding me just how fragile this world is and how much we should ALL enjoy every moment.<br />
