Oh shit, Andrew Weatherall
I feel a little bit sad now. Screamadelica was dead good. Saw them play it live in Brixton a few years ago. Super night it was.
Really sad about this. His own work and his producer-for-hire work from the late 1980s and early 1990s is peerless.
Haunted Dancehall tonight then
This is fucking tragic. One less musical shaman. Ceremonial robes and headgear going on tonight.
Very sad. I saw Primal Scream when they released Screamadelica, in Manchester, and he was dj’ing also. His work was one of the things that considerably broadened my musical horizons.
Absolute shocker
His Monthly NTS slot Musics not for Everyone was always a must listen.
Devastated. One of my favourite dance music artists. He could rock a party like very few others. Always one step ahead.
Many a night and day rocking to his selections, a messy stag day and night at brixton academy springs to mind
Gutted, I don’t usually join in on these things but gutted. Andy’s contribution to music had depth and breadth.
More sad news.
Sad to report actor John Shrapnel died last Friday. He was a lovely guy and a neigbour. He was married to Deborah Kerr’s daughter. If you are not sure of the name you will know the face. Here he is in Gladiator.
I’m afraid another one - somewhat controversial but a character all the same.
Columnist Wilfred De’Ath on February 19th, aged 82.
I read that he was actually descended from the Major General Henry Shrapnel who gave that material its name,
I think he put it well.
What a great piece. Heartfelt.
Very sad. Just been listening to them recently for the first time in ages. Such beautiful music.
