My only experience of her in the flesh was at the Vetch when she was introduced pitchside at half time 30 odd years ago.  The reception was 'mixed' but she seemed to take it all in good humour.  I recall her miming (presumably) along to a few of her hits but I might be wrong...the 90s were a bit hazy at times.

She was a Swansea legend, would arrive at her local pub and sing all evening with the locals.

She'll be especially mourned in South Wales.


That gives an impression of the woman as well as the singer.
Sad news.

RIP Beaky

Only one of them left now

I met Beaky in 2009 at his club The Gig in Benavista in Spain where my brother-in-law was living. He was a great host, chatted to everyone and sang “With A Girl Like You” (The Troggs song, not the Rutles) for me.

RIP Beaky
Somewhere secreted away I've got their autographs from when they were Dave Dee and the Bostons!

Begs the question, why open at 9.00. I think it happens at most festivals if you say 7.00 people arrive at 6.00 to be at the front of the queue for a better pitch but with new forest non of the pitches are better or worse and non are too far away from the arena, why not open at 12.00 knowing people will get there at 11.00. I'm sure there has been much discussion and learning over the years and of course there will be the unexpected on the day problems to deal with but it just seems that  by telling people they can arrive at 9.00 it is compounding the problem.


I agree.
