#word Albeit there is an Irish builder, married and with a work permit who’s been banged up for five months so far.

In the meantime, those of us who bought tickets for Chelmsford in a sort of last chance to see frame of mind are now faced with the dilemma of whether Alanis Morissette and Skunk Anansie are quite the types to fill that Neil-shaped hole? In fairness, I skipped SA at BDs a few years ago and the next day everyone who saw them was raving that they were incredible live.

April 2025: “When I go to play music in Europe, if I talk about Donald J. Trump, I may be one of those returning to America who is barred or put in jail to sleep on a cement floor with an aluminium blanket,” he wrote on his website. “That’s right folks, if you say anything bad about Trump or his administration, you may be barred from re-entering USA.”

Oh no , Fred was crucial to the 3 Television albums , and played in an early Blondie line up I think
He played on Tom's first 2 solo LP's too , maybe more
RIP Fred Smith
