Although we only knew him for 2 years of his very short life, we have fond memories of our friend Ian. It's difficult to imagine what he would have achieved if he was still with us.
Ian, Martin, Rob, Tony and Denise all left us too soon xx

We were gutted to hear of the passing of Richard from The Cabs yesterday. Richard & Mal were a big influence on ACR and we did quite a few gigs together in the early days. Their use of tapes and electronics was something we took on board from the first time we saw them play. 1/2

We are very sad to have lost a close friend and mentor. Andy was the reason ACR got all fired up again when he included us on his Nine O'Clock Drop comp in 2000. We were also lucky enough to play some great gigs with him. RIP Andy, Love The Ratios x

We are shocked to hear the news about Tony . Tony was such a lovely man & a brilliant artist who loved music. This is a cartoon he did about us a short while back which shows his wonderful sense of humour. Our thoughts go out to @PaulHusband_ ,Carole, his grandchildren & family.
