I was very sad to hear of the passing of Anthony Dolphin last week, he was one of the good guys and he contributed plenty of his incredible music to my Gardening mixes over the years recording as Santa Sprees.

Know about half a dozen of the artists mentioned.
Never heard of him, sorry
Judging by lack of response I am assuming not many other people know who he is either
I do understand, he was a friend and was connected to a lot of obscure musicians but his mix is an interesting intro to a lot of things I was not familiar with. I believe his own music deserves to be heard rather than consigned to unheard of history so thought it good to share.
