New Model Army

With great sadness we have to announce that our friend and manager, Tommy Tee suffered a sudden and completely unexpected medical emergency (a thoracic aorta dissection) and died on the evening of 23rd December. We are all in a state of shock and our thoughts and prayers are especially with Jube, his wife and their three children, Ben, Thomas and Charley. There have been many eulogies already written on the Noticeboard and we welcome all contributions as we intend to put them in a book and pass them onto his family.

It is with great sadness that we report that Robert Heaton died suddenly on Thursday November 4th 2004. A multi-talented instrumentalist and song-writer, Robert joined the band in 1982 and for the next fifteen years co-wrote many of the band's greatest songs, including being responsible for all the music to the anthem 'Green & Grey'. A consummate professional when it came to recording and performing, in public Robert was the powerhouse behind the rhythm driven sound of New Model Army. In the media and in private, he was always the perfect gentleman.
