Jesus, that is sad. Desperately underrated band, and impossible to remain the same without her.
Awful.
Actor Leslie Phillips dies.
Ding. Dong.
Nazarethâs Dan McCafferty dies aged 76
Sorry to hear that. If youâre going to cover a song, do a proper job. Like this
I remember seeing McCafferty being interviewed after a brilliant performance of this and the interviewer asked a question about whether he was happy with all the attention, sometimes critical, that comes with being famous. He replied, more or less, âYes. Now if someone doesnât like our gig youâll find him writing rude things about it in the newspapers. When we were starting out we played places in Glasgow where, if they didnât like your gig, they would try to stab your roadies.â.
Until I watched that I had no idea that Peter Wyngarde could play lead guitar
Tremendous voice.
Very sad.
Nik Turner.
Once saw him with his Inner City Unit.
Gloriously batshit you were, sir.
A bit more on this.
Fresherâs week 1985. I had recently discovered what was to turn out to be a life-long thing for live music, so I just signed up for everything.
With hindsight, whoever was doing the booking knew what they were about.
Nik Turnerâs ICU, The Cardiacs, A Certain Ratio, Doctor & The Medics (!) I think there were others but itâs almost 40 years ago.
Not bad for my first week in London.
Seems Keith Levene has died
ShitâŚ
FuckâŚ
Richard Larson, chief engineer for Audio Research Corporation from 1979 to 2004.
Transformer design was his speciality, and he was pivotal in the design and production of the SP10, SP11, D250, Classic 60, and the first and second generation Reference Series amps and preamps.
Another sad here
