Dear All Sorry to be the obituary writer for the lists.
But I have just had a phone call containing the sad tidings of the death of Martin Shillito whose name has cropped up on several occasions. Martin was Barry Tuckwell's 4th horn in the London Symphony Orchestra and 4th for the famous recording of the Tippett Sonata for 4 horns. He was also a talented flute player and, in recent years, had devoted himself to a career as a brass teacher and examiner in the Newcastle area where he had been 2nd horn in the Northern Sinfonia. He had undergone major surgery last year and suffered a heart attack on the operating table. However, hopes for his recovery were high which makes the news of his death, from another heart attack, last night even more of a shock.
