Cheers! Possible for someone to extrapolate that into a dob for Terry?

Looks like Jim Weaver has also bitten the big one: https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2020/10/jim-weaver-oregons-profound-environmental-congressman-dies-at-93.html (Paywall)

Reference here to the death of John Cannon, character actor, who had several minor and miner roles in Doctor Who: https://www.britmovie.co.uk/forum/cinema/obituaries/94448-john-cannon-r-i-p A few minor roles in Blakes 7 and uncredited role in The Empire Strikes Back.

What about the support for Liz Truss?

Renaissance. Terry Sullivan's FB page: https://www.facebook.com/Terrencesullivanmusician/ Interesting he uses two Rs in the page but only one for his name! Allegedly this I a link to his wife's page, but I can't access as not on FB: https://www.facebook.com/christine.sullivan.1466 and it may not exist. Terry and Christine were married on 9 January 1971 according to a post on his FB - where I don't know and do I know her maiden name? Nup. But how many Terence Sullivans were married in the UK on that day? Finally, Renaissance page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/RenaissanceTouring/

I could do a list of worse songs...but it would take forever. Right for the time imo!

Well, QO is needed, he's my second hit on my TOTP theme team - I think that's the first time I've had two hits on that team in a single year! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8812065/Rock-star-Eddie-Van-Halen-dies-age-65-long-battle-throat-cancer.html Anyway, they reached #7 in 1984 with Jump.

Cool write-up for Bobby Wilson, thanks!

Cunt's giving his speech. So far he's referenced "The Birdie Dance", "gregariousness" "Radioactive isotopes" and now he's talking about himself and how slim he is. I'm going for a ciggie, I'll probably miss nothing.
-
Well, I'd have to go with "He Said Hellllloooo, We Say Goodbye" But not for a while.

Clark Middleton, US actor who appeared in Twin Peaks (2017) as Charlie, dead at 63 of West Nile Virus: https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/clark-middleton-dead-the-blacklist-twin-peaks-kill-bill-2-1234793399/ Also Glen Carter in The Blacklist. Other roles IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0585485/

Pussycat. How's Ancestry for the Netherlands? Loulou Wille seems to be out of Hoensbroek, Limburg and his early band also included his brothers Humphrey and Rudy: https://www.nederbiet.nl/ricky_rendall_and_the_centuries.html Not a lot of help that there's a local politician from Limburg called Theo Coumans - doubt very much it's the same person. Theo Wetzels? Nada.

The Quads. Dunno if this will be of much help but there's this (scroll to page 12): https://www.marxists.org/history/etol/newspape/socialist-challenge/sc-n191-apr-02-1981.pdf Says the band were from Acocks Green, Birmingham and that Josh Jones was the oldest of the brothers. All I know. Surely there couldn't be that many Joshes in that part of Birmingham in the 1960s/70s?
-
Not him. This is the 80+ yo from Washington State who has Alzheimers. Clue is he's black. Our Jerry isn't. Maybe he's really a Jerry as in Tom and Jerry? EDIT: Or a GERARD? Gawd, the permutations...yeah it's looking like 1942/44 we are looking for.

Purple Hearts. Gary Sparks says he was 19 when he was signing the contracts: http://www.thepurplehearts.co.uk/Purple_Hearts_James_Cooper/gary_sparks_interview_nov_2000.htm Indication the band were from Romford - dunno, my geography is shocking, would that tie in with Southwark? That would tie in with a birth date of c. 1960 LinkedIn has a Gary E Sparks who works a carpentry business in Ilford. Sparks was a carpentry apprentice and says in the interview he works for himself as a carpenter so might be him?

Pratt & McClain. Jerry McClain (out of Pasadena, California) contact details here include a reference to a School of Management: https://contactout.com/Jerry-McClain-13552475 This would fit in with this Jerry McClain who graduated from Pasadena High School in 1960: https://old-friends.co/studentRecord.php?s=139*477295&dd= I'm not American, but is that going to take us back to early 1940s, born Pasadena?

I've personally never understood the ALS thread. Defining people and their achievements by the disease from which they are suffering? Yuk, yuk, yuk! All hail the Singles Thread! And someone else can chip in with the research you know.....

Every little hemps!

With cases and deaths on the rise, he smirked all the way through the relatively easy ride Andrew Marr gave him this morning. When asked why, after 6 weeks of lockdown in Oldham, cases were doubling, he replied "It's too early to say". He has as much gravitas as a fart in a lift and as much sympathy for the people of this country as AOC has for President Trump.

Poppy Family 2. It might not matter. This link has Terry Jacks indicate that McCaw and Singh were not on the single: https://theprovince.com/entertainment/music/ebook-excerpt-which-way-you-goin-poppy-family and it was probably session musicians who did the recording! Gah!
-
Poppy Family. This article from 2014 indicates the relative ages of the band. http://www.vancouversun.com/entertainment/Poppy+Family+blooms+again+Experience/10015057/story.html Essentially Satwant Singh is similar in age to Susan Jacks, so probably born between 1947/49. Craig McCaw is 4-5 years older, so probably born between 1942/44. There's a link here that I can't access as not on FB also from 2014: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=677851995630454&id=576025122479809 and that might give you further links.

Platinum Hook. Hard this one. Bobby Douglas and Robin Corley are in a band called Tupelo Honey. This is Bobby Douglas' FB page accessed via the Platinum Hook page: https://www.facebook.com/TIPHUN?hc_ref=ARRpwNMX6BJhMCTVgfPuzCttbAZ5dA-OaRrs7C_GV1yPAytNSrWlZxCEb4nOU10xmFg&ref=nf_target&__tn__=lC-R Tupelo Honey Page here: https://www.facebook.com/pg/Tupelo-Honey-A-Van-Morrison-Celebration-961680384028560/posts/ Robin Corley comments on the T Shirt post but his FB is inaccessible to me as a non-member of FB - perhaps that might be available to you? Otherwise dead ends.

Damn Pickettywitch, hard walls everywhere! Anyway, The Planets. Steve Lindsey is on bloody Twitter as are Deaf School but could I find any birthday wishes? No! However, through a myriad route we find that Stephen Lindsey was born March 1955 via this https://www.imro.ie/about-imro/our-board/steve-lindsey/ and this https://ie.globaldatabase.com/company/elevate-music-productions-limited I'm assuming from Liverpool given his extensive links as shown on his Twitter, now living in Dublin.

Pickettywitch. This may come in dribs and drabs, because of the windows I'd have to open. Straight off the bat, Keith Hall was living in Finland in 2012 - article helpfully includes his date of birth: https://www.6d.fi/index.php/wemet/463-moving-to-his-own-beat

Report of the death of Nicholas Bullen, costume designer on The Space Pirates and The War Games for Doctor Who: Surprised IMDB doesn't have a date of birth as a quick check of Companies House says he was born March 1946: http://www.checkcompany.co.uk/director/9804838/NICK-BULLEN
