Hero's of My Career Marc Ellington I met Marc, not through the music business but through the head master of a school. I was involved in a project and the headmaster told me that Marc had a recording studio. I did not really know who Marc was and he was a man who could always be mysterious. There were pictures of him shaking hands with Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother as she arrived at his house. He made television programmes and worked with Oil Companies. He was very switched on with a razor sharp mind and a huge memory. He was always so brilliant at promoting people and things and would always find a good word to say about everything. He could always make time as well, he gave me so much. One dark evening I arrived at his door, I was seeking friendship and a shoulder to cry on, things were very difficult for me at that time and Marc provided. A great man with a huge voice, I remember him singing the 'Mighty Quinn' at my house after dinner one night. He made many records and was a member of the fabulous Fairport Convention. |
