Trish Keenan dies aged 42

We are saddened to hear the tragic news that Trish Keenan, lead singer of Birmingham electro-pop group Broadcast, died yesterday morning. 

The BBC reports she died of pneumonia as a result of contracting swine flu during the group's pre-christmas tour.

We met Trish and her partner James Cargill in 2008 when they came to Jersey to perform at Branchage as part of a night of artists represented by Warp Records.  Warp have released a statement saying 'This is an untimely, tragic loss and we will miss Trish dearly - a unique voice, an extraordinary talent and a beautiful human being. Rest in peace.'

Our thoughts are with her friends and family.
