Matt Stacey Sax

S O S . My beloved 30 year-old Yamaha QY300 has just packed in. Unless I can get hold of another one, I’ve lost 30 years of work – backing tracks & arrangements for every band I’ve ever worked with, and all my own music too.
Is there anybody out there who has a Yamaha QY300 music sequencer tucked away?
The floppy disc drive on mine has seized up. (YES, floppy discs!).
I’ve been meaning to convert all my QY files to midifiles and save them on a PC. I will then be able to open them on Cubase (which I now use) but, like an idiot, I’ve not got round to it.
I’m trying out all sorts of other partial solutions, but the only simple and complete solution is to have a QY300 with a working floppy disc drive – just to convert and save all my QY files.
I’d happily buy on. But if anyone’s got one that they want to keep, I’d happily pay to borrow it for a week.
Please, can anyone help?

Loads of fun making a guest appearance with the legendary Little Britain last weekend at the Hop.

New costume addition - fedora.
Meant to be a sun hat - rookie error - it's really really warm. When I take it off, looks like I've just done an ice bucket challenge!

I just wanted to say a huge thanks! We had an amazing day yesterday and you were just unreal. Everyone complimented just how good you are - it really topped off our day!!! Thank you again!

A great day playing for Lisa & Gary's wedding day at Scotland last week.

Wonderful picture from David Conway Photography playing for Sandra & Marshall's big day at Holmfirth Vineyard in March.
It's quite rare for photographers to get me with all the guests in the shot - and this time the full vista of Penine scenery too. Thanks David for such a great shot.

Just uploaded my version of Concerto De Aranjuez (or "Concerto d'Orange Juice" if you've watched Brassed Off) on youtube.
Yes, the sax does arrive eventually, but I just had to have a go at the first section on my old junk shop classical guitar.
