Fleetwood Mac have been a favourite band of mine for a long time - since my early teens when Tango in the Night came out, then I got into the back catalogue.

Fleetwood Mac - one of the best bands ever. McVie was underappreciated behind the much more flamboyant Stevie Nicks.


Very sad.

Hear the news this morning and a sad, sad loss and far too young. The Specials were part of the soundtrack to the end of Secondary School and the start of A Levels.

Peterem

Mike Hodges, director of the immortal "Get Carter" (the real one, not the Stallone atrocity) as well as Flash Gordon. I wonder how his name came up when the producers were looking for the right guy to direct a cheesy but fun 80s sci-fi epic?

T13A

George Cohen MBE, England and Fulham, World Cup Winning footballer.

Watched him many times at the Cottage in the 60's.  =D>

RIP.
