I knew David when his company was a supplier to a speciality food company of which I was a director in the 90's. I met him and his daughter at exhibitions and spoke on the phone. Nice chap. RIP. |

Sad news. I only saw Dee once - at Cropredy - she was gamely playing on while trying to stop her sheet music being blown all the way to Williamscot.

Very saddened to hear of Dee Palmer's & Barry Dransfield's passing. I think Dee was hugely important in 70s Tull.
And the Fiddler's Dream is a wonderful album.

RIP Dennis Locorriere June 13th 1949 - May 16th 2026.
Members of this forum will remember Dennis' appearances at Cropredy. I wasn't there in 2012, but I remember his set in 2003.
A bit of a wild card booking, nobody really knew what to expect, but he surprised a lot of people and was very well received.
Oh, when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s Dr Hook were the most played album in the car on long journeys. Me and my sisters used to sing along to silly songs. Years later, I saw Dennis a couple of times solo at Bedworth Civic Hall, and then a few years ago as 'Dr Hook' in Birmingham Symphony Hall. He looked and sounded fabulous and it was an absolutely brilliant gig (Jon Poole from the Cardiacs was his bass player!). |

Barry Dransfield's album is one of those l never grow tired of. 'Broken Barricades' leaves me vulnerable and exhausted.

This is sad. I've always liked Greenslade. First saw them live around 1974, then in 2001 I think. |

I was planning to see Martin Barre, with Clive Bunker and Dee Palmer, in Houston in 2020. The tour was postponed for obvious reasons, and when it resumed in 2022, Dee had stepped away. I’m sad at her passing but envious of her long and productive life. |

Walter Parazaider, saxophonist and founder member of Chicago.
It was originally Walt's idea to form a rock band with a serious horn section after hearing "Got To Get You Into My Life" on The Beatles' Revolver.
Going to give their debut "Chicago Transit Authority" a spin in his honour.
