I was sad to hear of the passing of the influential rock critic , editor and author Mark Beech. I didn't know Mark of course but I am aware of his work and unlike a lot of critics he was knowledgeable and well researched. Mark had been living in Scotland recently and I have no doubt enjoyed the vibrant music scene here.
Mark wrote the excellent
book A-Z of Names in Rock, amongst other works, and the book is brilliantly researched and as Mark absolutely intended a book that you dip into and use as a springboard.
I plan to use the book as inspiration for some posts which hopefully will be fun and informative.
