Mike Scott of The Waterboys is one of the most under-rated but utterly brilliant lyricist around.

Totally agree ,also Shane Macgowan, pure poetry despite his problems.

Sorry, I hit the wrong emoji, meant to be flames !

I just did a Paddy Maloney....."Oh Christ" !

Remember that Paddy Moloney moment well, not the greatest lyric or finest musicianship ever !!

Richard Thompson, hugely underrated genius. Also Calum McDonald of Scots band Runrig, did so much for Gaelic culture. 

Life and times of Fairport Geoff, how long have you got?

Norma Waterson, first lady of English folk music, aged 82.

Saw Bowie Ziggy era 3 times,Taunton Odeon, Weston Winter Gardens and Bristol Locarno, think tickets were a quid at all of them.

Highlights of that great day on Big Match Revisited on ITV 4 today at 17.55

I was at that one, really hot day during that hot '76 summer.

Burke Shelley, bassist, vocalist and founder member of Welsh rockers Budgie, age 71.

Middlesbrough, around 1968,the one coach left A.G.at 4.30 am (very little motorway then),got to about 30 miles from 'boro in pouring rain and heard on coach radio that the match was off. Went into Middlesbrough ,had a drink and a bite to eat then set off for home,arriving at some time past midnight, nightmare!

Radio Bristol comment from the Mem, Atmosphere?, there isn't one! 

Amazing to think we're going to pick up around 2 Tillsons without doing anything, just our cut from the Luke Freeman transfer.

Atmospheric ( the sky, not the "stadium")  just looking for the four horsemen, though they'd probably get punched !

Would that be the four horsemen of the apocalypse Slarti, or the four poxmen.... you know the rest!!! 

I remember the wonderful Roger Malone commentary 'and there's Devon White, the man who does the spade work for Rovers', Ouch!
