And it's goodnight for Michael Dunford (Renaissance)

Michael Dunford with Annie Haslam

November 20th saw the passing away of Michael Dunford, at his home in Surrey, just after he returned an US Tour. He died of a violent brain haemorrhage.

Michael was one of the oldest members of Renaissance, the distinctive english progressive act that enjoyed huge success in the United States, largely due to incredible Annie Haslam voice and to the composing talents of Dunford, among other band members. Dunford joined the second and more sucessful incarnation of Renaissance, the one that launched "Prologue" in 1972.
