2017 deaths and climbing

[Leon]

Just read that Vin Garbutt a folk singer from Middlesbrough has died. Whilst his style may not have been to everyone's liking, I enjoyed his shows a lot. I was lucky enough to meet and drink with him on several occasions in the Knight's social club in Middlesbrough, often after Boro matches. He was a very down to earth man, who loved people and making music, as well as encouraging others to play too. Usually he had his guitar with him and we would often get an impromptu mini concert.

A sad loss to the music scene.

Yes, that rings a bell, the Welly was an odd pub then  Last time I was in there it was an awful place, sh*t beer, sh*t music and the worst elements of Boro life

Any idea what Steve Curtis is up to these days?

Cheers

Steve is still in south Africa, but looking to retire back to Europe?

Stephen Furst best known for Flounder in Animal House and Vir in Babylon 5 has passed away aged 63

[Nirnman]

Now it's Stephen Furst, I remember him and Peter Sallis (now both sadly left us ) playing Gestapo men in a BBC children's series about escaping POWs.

[Ithoriel]

Vir was one of my favourite characters in Bab5, which is one of my all-time favourite TV shows, and Stephen Furst was the same age as me. Never send to know for whom the bells tolls ...

Nooooooooo. 

[fsn]

I heard the news of the way home. Gave voice to a primeval roar of anguish.


Didn't half upset the lady in the next car as we stood at the traffic lights.

For those of a certain age, Anita Pallenberg died last week, aged 73. Great friend to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

Poor Brian

I am crying through the round window

[Steve J]

First John Noakes, now Brian Cant

[Poggle]

Dear gods, not Brian Cant too? 

[Norm]

On the news last night, they were showing clips of Trumpton Town (Cant was narrator) - heart warming to see that again.

Say hi to him next time you speak
