Patrick Grant’s father, James, had been a manager of the Scottish pop rock band Marmalade as well as an accountant and rugby coach.
Scottish fashion designer Patrick Grant has said his father died “very unnecessarily” due to Personal Protective Equipment shortages during the Covid pandemic.
The Saville Row tailor, 51, told presenter Lauren Laverne: “My dad died of Covid very, very early on, very unnecessarily, because there was no PPE in the hospital. “‘There are a million sewing machines in homes around the UK, lots of them want to help, there are lots of also empty factories with cutting capacity, we can get the fabric, we can cut it centrally, distribute it to home sewers’.
He said: “It’s a beautiful song. Of course it brings back memories of my dad and it’s also, it’s kind of uplifting, because we will get through.”
