PETE ROBINSON - 1956 - 2024

It is with deepest sadness that we inform you of the passing of Pete Robinson of The Mather Robinson Band on the 24th of October at the age of 68.

Pete was a brilliant musician, an incredible vocalist and a gifted songwriter and wordsmith. He was also a true gentleman in every sense of the word, he made friends easily wherever he went in life and was highly regarded and respected by everyone.

The Mather Robinson Band achieved a great deal over the years, due in no small part to Pete’s musical talent. One of their proudest achievements was being invited to appear at the Costa Del Folk Festival in Ibiza where they performed alongside some of Pete’s musical heroes – Show Of Hands and Fairport Convention to name but two, opening for Tony Christie on the final night was without doubt another memorable highlight for Pete.

He will be dearly missed but always remembered and his legacy will live on in the wonderful music he created. Our thoughts are with his family and fellow band members at the very sad time. RIP Pete.
