RIP Andy Billups, best known as Ms Zsa Zsa Poltergeist, bassist of The Hamsters : Southend-on-Sea's finest blues-rock power trio, after a long illness.

A quick glance tells me The Hamsters played Cropredy three times (1995, 2000, 2005). I remember their 2005 set being particularly incendiary.

Oi bin owt agin. Trigger Warning: Contains at least one drummer joke.
Does not list the three songs in our set list that were performed at Live Aid, nor how difficult The Things We Do for Love is to get your head around until you change the key to Am.

Ed Neuhauser, Helicon player with Bellowhead, died on Christmas Eve.

His wife, Cathryn, announced the news today.

It is with much sadness to say that Ed passed away on Christmas Eve.

Ed was treated for a brain tumour two years ago. Sadly we found out that the disease had advanced in October of this year.

Though James, Beth and are heartbroken at his passing, we are so grateful for the wonderful years together. He was such an incredible husband and father. Thank you Ed for all the love, laughter and music. Forever in our hearts. Much love to you all.

Cathryn x

Chris Rea, from Jools Denby about being on TotP with New Model Army (my edits);
successful as it was for the band, it was an exhausting and horrible day. the utter contempt and distain shown me by the BBC who obviously considered me, as so many conservative men did and still do view Alternative women, as a repugnant freak, all got a bit much. I left the dressing room and sat in the floor outside in the corridor silently crying and trying not to smudge my eye makeup. As I sat huffing and sniffling a man approached, speaking with a strong Geordie accent, asking me with genuine concern if I was alright. I found my voice and replied in a rather wobbly tone I was, but it was just all a bit much and not what I’d dreamed it would be. Ah, he said, yeah, I get that, but remember, you’re the artiste, you have the power, they can never force you to play and they need you – chin up, give ‘em Hell, eh?”
He was so kind, so thoughtful and his voice, husky and low, was so beautiful and reassuring after all that had happened. Most men within the music industry were awful to me but here was a thoroughly decent, compassionate man taking time to reassure a stranger, and a stranger most men regarded as trash. I have never, ever forgotten the simple, genuine kindness Chris Rea showed me on that day and it has remained in my heart as a treasured memory ever since. RIP.

Thanks for sharing that Shane. There are good people about.
