It is with great sadness and much dismay that I'm updating this page tonight. Ally Lyall, dear friend and guitarist from our original line-up passed away last week and was buried this afternoon in Glasgow.
Ally was much loved and well respected by all who worked and played with him.
He played a major part in taking the Sanctuary Medicines album out on the road and we were lucky enough to have him with us on many UK and European tours including, The Fall, Therapy?, Cyclefly, 2 UK headline tours and many festival dates.
Please feel free to download the video footage of Attack Me live on French TV. I've also posted a version of Float in MP3 format for you to download as Ally's guitar playing on the track is really quite special...enjoy them!
I will remember Ally as a hugely talented, quick-witted, intelligent and caring friend and would like to offer my deepest sympathy to all of the family.
Rest in peace Ally, we will never forget you.
