Cheers to everyone who left a comment, we said our last goodbyes to Skinny on monday, was a terribly sad day, submission/domination was played in the church, never thought that would happen, loads of people came, we couldnt fit them all in the crematorium, Skinny was well loved, its such a loss. Sometime next year there will be a gig in Dublin and one in London celebrating Skinny's life, it will be the last time me and Alien play Coitus gigs, without Skinny there is no Coitus, R.I.P Skinny, I love you forever mate, mik x
we'll really miss you mate. Awesome bassist, good friend and all round great bloke. Everybody liked skinny - another good one gone - gutted. Love and thoughts to his family RIP geezer
