We were also saddened to read the news of Bob's passing. A great fast bowler who told it as it is.

Marie Fredriksson of Roxette. I thought they were ok.
Also bioligist and naturalist David Bellamy. I always used to watch his programmes. David Atenborough is boring in comparison.

i have a decent number of 4AD releases. His styling was instantly recognisable and suited the label's roster, very well.

Sad to report the sudden passing on the 29th of December of Neil Innes - The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band - another one of my favourite bands of all time.😢
