Sad news. The first band I ever saw in concert  And Mr Bridgwit's first band I saw Showaddywaddy at a work's do with a free bar. I remember very little about the gig but apparently I thoroughly enjoyed it. RIP Trevor |

A friend of mine lives in a house with a separate upstairs.
Showaddywaddy’s drummer lives above her…
I never saw the band, but he was once at a party at here house, I had a brief chat.

The great Mike Westbrook, British jazz musician and composer.
His 70s albums were partly responsible for my getting into jazz in my teens.

Máire Brennan of Clannad aged 73.
Such a beautiful voice.

https://donegalnews.com/256833-2/Terrible news. Such a haunting voice and presence, and far too young. I think their Cropredy gig was the Clannad's penultimate one so we can be grateful for that chance. RIP.

They broke my heart and they killed me, but I didn't die. They tried to bury me, they didn't realise I was a seed.

Very sad. Clannad is my calm-me-down music, mainly due to Maire’s voice. So glad I got to see them at Cropredy. RIP |
