Really sad news.  I only saw him once, many years ago at the Fleadh.  Here’s a clip from The Late Show, with a horribly prescient introduction.

I saw him at the Fleadh too, late Ninties probably. One of the highlights of the day along with Lonnie Donegan.

That sounds about right.  I used to go most years back then.  I don’t remember Lonnie.  Maybe the year that Dylan came?

Don't remember Dylan. I think Van Morrison was the headliner that year. I went to a few Fleadhs but I rarely saw anything on the main stages  so I might well have got this wrong.  Smiley

This is the third passing to break my heart in a week after Adam Schlesinger and Bill Withers. I am a huge Prine fan and was lucky enough to see him once at the Shepherd's Bush Empire about 15 years ago. His performance of Lake Marie remains one of the highlights of my gig going life.

Lake Marie is one of the greatest love songs ever. Obviously John Prine was one of the greatest artists I have ever heard and (gratefully) ever seen.

Please no one take offence here - I'm sure the good man wouldn't - but I presume he might not be going for the conventional burying route

Matthew Seligman - possibly an unfamiliar name, but I bet you’ll have seen or heard him at some point. He was in The Soft Boys, The Thompson Twins, Thomas Dolby’s band, backed David Bowie at Live Aid (and reputedly came up with a line change for his and Jagger’s version of ‘Dancing In The Street’ in the studio), played bass on ‘Absolute Beginners’ and did session work on This Is The Sea and for acts as diverse as Transvision Vamp, Tori Amos and The Stereo MCs. Another COVID19 tragedy.

Nooooo.  Oh feck.  Absolutely brilliant bassist, and a really nice bloke to boot.  A (very distant) relative actually, too....

Sad news indeed. He helped change the face of radio and opened up music broadcasting in this country enabling us to listen to the music we wanted. A good friend of mine was a DJ on the ship (Dave Andrews now on Gold radio) and his very first record on his very first show was dedicated to me and our close group of friends. RIP Ronan

That reminds me... we used to listen to Caroline North, and a school friend got a few of us to join the "Broadside Free Radio Movement" to campaign against the laws banning "pirate" radio transmissions. A quick search on t'interweb later:

Radio Caroline was the background to my youth, coming out of scratchy car radios overlaid with the strange monotonous jamming signal.
I was listening on the night it sank, the station was a huge influence on my musical tastes introducing me to warren Zevon, Louden wainwright and many many others.

Jacques Pellen, French jazz guitarist. Played with many but in these circles, he was one of many musicians that were part of Dan Ar Braz’s Heritage des Celts. Another lost to Covid 19 😕

I was at school with him and scarred his cheek with a fountain pen when we were 12!
