lydon was always really sweet when talking about her - seemed incongruous for the old scarey  punk.

I suspect this won't mean much to most on here but gutted to hear Guy Baily has passed.

Oh that is a shame, but it did mean I spent the Easter weekend blasting out those first two albums along with some Dogs and even Cherry Bombz. I think I first saw The Quireboys as a support for CB?

May have been, I saw Cherry Bombz but don't remember the support.

Jah Shaka sound system master 

Am feeling this one. 
 

Saw him do a five hour set in London Underground a good few years back, brilliant. Old school, only one deck, behind which he would regularly crouch out of site, shortly after which a huge cloud of smoke would arise.

RIP

RIP Mary Quant - not a musician, but definitely part of the rock'n'roll revolution.

Never a fan but absolutely no age...

Genuinely gutted by this. Genius is a term used too frequently, but I think in his case it's justified.

Thanks for posting. I’ve only just heard of his death. They’re one of the most innovative bands ever. It’s taken a long time for me to fully appreciate the band and the ongoing Stephen Wilson series of remixes is excellent. I never knew Ray worked with Bjork in her early years.
