Yes. As someone pointed out, there's been a time lag on this one - -I thought I was posting new news, but it happened on 29th July. The letter from Leonard Cohen is so touching. Radio 4 Today had a short feature about it this morning. |

They broke my heart and they killed me, but I didn't die. They tried to bury me, they didn't realise I was a seed.

And only a few weeks after Leo Brennan, father of Ciaran, Pol and Moya and owner of Leo's Tavern, died at the age of 90. Sad times indeed for the Clannad families and friends.  |

Oh no.  I only recently bought the Mother CD reissue. I'v e always loved the Gilli Smyth element to Gong. It's so soon after Daevid Allen's death too. |

Very sad, although they are together now. Poor Orlando.
It was such a joy to see that reunion a few years back. I miss 'em.
