UK Ska Scene mourns the loss of a big man with a big heart

It is with a heavy heart that we heard of the passing of Big Fat Panda frontman and all round nice guy Andrew Laidlaw.

Andy had been poorly for a few months and was bravely battling hard but sadly passed away on 16th September. The band announced the sad news on their Facebook page:

Andy is a huge loss to the Ska scene in Scotland, the wider UK and the whole international scene.

Rest in peace big man!
