Lovely. Pink Frost is the sound of Dunedin to so many people. And to Martin - in interviews he stated quite clearly that this song is the Dunedin landscape emerging in his art. But it's not in the lyrics. It's just in the notes. Magic.

Lovely tribute Simon. I can imagine you two having a very good connection. And yes as a Dunedin girl born and bred I can confirm that Pink Frost is absolutely unequivocally 100 percent Dunedin. I feel the dark Dunedin winter in my bones when I hear it- in the most beautiful way. This song is pure magic. I’m so sad he is gone.

A real shock and a huge loss. Thanks for writing such a kind and thoughtful tribute, Simon. He was one of the greats. I hope wherever he is, he gets to wear his leather jacket all the time.
