Sad news Rick Huxley of the Dave Clark Five died aged 72 following a battle with emphysema. Great pop band with only 2 original members remaining. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21428486 |

First band I ever saw "live", the DC5. Liverpool Empire early 60s... that was it, I was hooked on rock/pop.

Think that was 1970 with Pink Floyd. The Whole World Band included Mike Oldfield, David Bedford, Lol Coxhill & Robert Wyatt & it was indeed something to remember. |

The Whole World Band included Mike Oldfield, David Bedford, Lol Coxhill & Robert Wyatt & it was indeed something to remember. 1970 too early for me - and never saw Floyd. 1974 possibly? LIne up was Ayers headlining, with a set from Nico and also Chapman Whitney Streetwalkers and also possibly a Gong offshoot of some sort? Do recall it was v hot and Ayers was impressive. |

Always loved Bananamour. First time I saw him was on Whistle Test playing Shouting in a bucket blues.

Yes, I heard on national news last night. i feel so sad about this. Without wishing to sound melodramatic, every time another death like this happens, I feel as if another fragment of my youth has gone. I've loved his solo albums for so long. I hope he had some good wine on his last day. |
