Manir Khalil Donaghue
It is with great sadness that we have to report the passing of Coltsfoot founder member and original guitarist Manir Khalil Donaghue. Geoff, Stuart and Manir (right to left in the photo below) formed the band at the University of Hull in the mid-eighties. Manir was a big character with an encyclopedic knowledge of progressive music. In the days when studio time was expensive but there was no other way to capture our first compositions, together we learned the art and science of recording, how to (and often how not to) record! 'Everybody makes mistakes' was his classic line, often uttered by all of us as the clock ticked down and the bill crept up! It was a fun time. Our first efforts were by no means perfect but it was an enlightening journey. One we shared together. Thanks Manir for the fun memories. RIP friend. We will never forget you.

June 2020
Work has started on compiling and editing some of the piano ballads written over many years. With new vocals supplied by a number of session singers, this is something Geoff has been itching to do for a long, long time. Primarily with a publishing focus, this may result in a stand alone album. Watch this space....
May 2020
Material is being assembled for a new side project entitled Deadly Charm. This crossover project will be an outlet for some of Geoff's more electronic compositions. Further updates when it nears completion.
