Jeff Beck RIP

[Ayrshire Chris]

Just heard the Jeff Beck news, so sad. 

[MrZigster]

Gutted about Jeff Beck. The last gig I went to. Really had hoped to see him on the farm one day. Another unique, irreplaceable guitarist.

[Neil]

and now david crosby, which has messed up the C, S, N & Y, headline set 😞

Oh no

Another one - Tom Verlaine, Television 

Marquee Moon one of my absolute favourite albums

Oh fuck, that's terrible. Marquee Moon is perfection! So sad.

Too many gone! I saw Television back in the day. There was such a buzz about them after that amazing review of Marquee Moon (The NME I think). I’ll give it a play tomorrow. 

[The Nal]

RIP. Played a great gig in the New Bands tent in 04.

[Dark Star]

Gutted about Tom Verlaine... that 04 New Bands Tent set was excellent.

Barrett Strong, a phenomenal list of songs to his credit, and as with too many writers, credit he was deprived of for many years...

Sad news but that's a legacy of top drawer songs right there.

Now that's what I'd call a track record.

His 2015 set on the Pyramid was everything Glastonbury should be. God bless.

Sad news. I have always felt a little guilty about missing that but he clashed with Kae Tempest and they always give it everything at Glastonbury because it means so much to them.

RIP

I (quite literally) bumped into Adele leaving the field after that gig.

Also that was 8 years ago?! 

Fuck you, err, God.

[giantkatestacks]

HATE seeing this thread pop up. This is a big loss though. RIP.

[Hugh Jass II]

Was at that 2015 set but can't remember a thing about it due to an absolute monster of a hangover I was nursing from the night before.

[Ayrshire Chris]

Burt Bacharach 

say a little prayer for him

Burt was frail and they tried to prop up the sound by having some shithead comptition winner sing most of the tunes.

[CaledonianGonzo]

This one hurts. One of my favourite songwriters.

[henry bear]

His canon of work speaks for itself. Up there with the greatest songwriters.
