DEADPOOL 2021

[Tangled up in Blue]

****ing hate the Pogues. I'd take any version of UB40 over them any day of the week. I don't really care much for musical superiority, there's more to it than that IMHO.

Think I walked out of UB40's set about half way through IIRC-Not really my sort of music though I've always loved the Pogues.

Cool story.

Not to you perhaps.Most of your contributions on SZ are funny.This one wasn't.

BTW the concert I was referring to took place in 1989 and not 1981 as you implied on another thread.

Moody Blues Drummer Grame Edge .

I saw The Moody Blues in concert 6 years ago in Sheffield. Graeme Edge was on stage, but he could barely play the drums by then, but he was 74 at the time.

He was the last original member of the Moodies, but I guess they will carry on with long time members Justin Hayward and John Lodge.

Very sad news indeed.

Ah, now that is really sad to hear. Back when F1 was fun to watch.

I remember seeing them in Brum,back in the late 70's (Can't say I was much of a fan) but IIRC it was a good concert.

Sad , always remember him dancing with the FA Cup when Coventry won the cup .

John Sillett Coventry's FA cup winning manager from 1987 has passed away

Winning the cup meant so much back then to clubs and players, not some consolation silverware. The idea that top sides would rest players in the cup just didn’t happen, no matter if the opposition was way below you.

So John Sillett’s FA Cup achievements were truly special.

Same age as me, starts to get a bit scary when your contemporaries are dropping off the perch.
