Post by: Jules on April 17, 2020, 12:09:42 PM: Robyn is a very common name. We don't know if she is the same Robyn. At least not me.

Very sad news indeed. Dave was very important for the studio, was a key person while being built and when it started.

Post by: goon525 on April 17, 2020, 01:58:54 PM: Robyn is not a very common girl’s name in the UK - not exactly rare, but certainly not common. The man’s form spelled Robin (the female version can be spelled either way) is much more common.

Post by: ds1984 on April 19, 2020, 11:45:42 AM: Remembering this message from Mark posted last March :

I’m thinking of everyone as we navigate these difficult times. They will pass, as they always do. I aim to be back in the studio recording songs as soon as possible. Take care of one another, keep calm and keep safe. We will pull through.

Love,
Mark

It still sounds quite emotional now.

Just read in Guy‘s forum that David‘s wife Robyn is Mark‘s PA. Must be a horrible time for everybody of his crew and band.

David Stewart passed away two weeks ago. I guess it has more to be with no having more shows recorded or maybe they don't have all of them yet and they are broadcasting them little by little to avoid running out of programs too soon.
