A tribute to Dean McInnes

With the sudden loss of beloved local musician Dean McInnes recently, the Forte team want to extend their condolences to Dean’s family, friends and the local music community. We reached out this week to the music community to get some words about Dean and the positive impact he had on the people around him.
Spero Ferendinos – Local guitarist
I remember seeing him playing this Beautiful PRS at Lamby’s once and I asked him about it, and despite how drunk I was, he talked to me about it for 15 minutes.
David Weir – Guitarist/Vocalist – Good For Wednesday
Dean was an amazing guy. Friendly, Enthusiastic and he was inspiring to watch on stage. Musical prowess that will be missed alongside the man himself.
Matthew Jelley – Guitarist/Vocalist – Modern Divide
I’ll never forget my experience of performing Muse – ‘New Born’ with Dean. He had arrived late from another gig and had clearly had a few travellers, chucks the guitar over his shoulder and proceeds to nail the song, smashed the solo and sung some beautiful harmonies. Song finishes and he just says with a big smile “that went alright”.
