Márcio André Nepomuceno Garcia, AKA MC Marcinho, Brazilian Singer and one of the great stars of Funk Melody, a more melodic and romantic version of Funk Carioca, a rhythm that was born in the favelas. At first it was the soundtrack of the poor youth of Rio de Janeiro, but thanks to an artist like MC Marcinho, the rhythm overcame stigmas and conquered the country.

Described by Guitar World magazine as “one of the finest British players to ever pick up an electric guitar”, Bernie Marsden, who has died aged 72, was best known for his work with Whitesnake, the band formed by the former Deep Purple vocalist David Coverdale in 1978. Coverdale described how “I’d met Bernie casually in Munich when he was with Paice Ashton Lord. He asked what I was doing in town [London], and on being told immediately offered to come and help out … shrewd, was ol’ Bernie.”
