Andrew Bodnar, bassist with (amongst others) The Rumour, he co-wrote "I love the Sound of Breaking Glass" with Nick Lowe, and was author of one my all-time favourite basslines - "Watching The Detectives". Sad loss. The Rumour were a great backing band Graham Parker was nothing like as good without them. |

Just seen this on YouTube, posted for Sandy's (79th!) birthday:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_wpElioyq0 A live video recording of Rising for the Moon, filmed at Birmingham University on June 22 1974 by Guild TV (Birmingham University Film Club). Sad to realise that 3 are no longer with us and Jerry is incapacitated. Now be thankful DM and Peggy are still able to play (so well!) |

[quote  author=Shane (Skirky) link=topic=41636.msg788838#msg788838 date=1766968643]A complete list of Pegg Numbers. https://stocton.org/peggnuma.htm Astonishing and exemplary research. It. Is. Incredible. Can you remind a poor old cripple what the Pegg numbers 1-6 stood for? How’re you doing Jim? As I recall, if you have a Pegg number of one, you have played with Dave Pegg. A Pegg number of two indicates that you’ve played with someone who’s played with him and so on and so forth. To quote: “Thus DP has Pegg #0, Simon Nicol and Ian Anderson #1, Cat Stevens #2 etc. The criteria here being that people should have played together, either on the same song recording (album track) or on the same live song”. Hence Peggy>Bruce Rowland>Bill Wyman>Mick Jagger means Mick has a Pegg number of four. Technically, I have a Pegg number since I’m on a track with Judy Dyble, but I didn’t make the list. [/quote] Roger Daltrey is listed as having a Pegg number of 3, but it should be 2. DM played on his solo album McVicar. |

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. Saw the Hamsters many many times 1980s-2000s including, I think, the first and last Cropredy performances. One of those bands with no pretences (apart, maybe from the pseudonym!). RIP Andy. |
