As Christmas beckons, our thoughts are with the friends and family of Rainy Boy Sleep, AKA Stevie Martin, who tragically passed away this year.

“Stevie was a lovely, super-talented guy,” reflects Hot Press Assistant Editor Stuart Clark. “Off-stage he was quite shy and understated, on it he was a livewire. Everyone in the industry loved dealing with him. He was one of the good guys.”

Stevie dropped by the Hot Press Storeroom in the winter of 2015 and performed this gorgeous cover of ‘Fairytale Of New York’, which is being screened here for the first time and underlines what a supreme talent Stevie was.
