Found this for Roy Ward: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=IWI6keyMDxQC&pg=PT50&dq="roy+ward"+lion+sleeps+tonight&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiBoIf-74jqAhWNTxUIHXs8AOQQ6AEIPTAC#v=onepage&q="roy ward" lion sleeps tonight&f=false This places Ward in Rugby. Given Jason Pierce's age and that Pierce was still at school, that sort of places Ward there sometime between 1978 and 1982 I'd say.

Now for the podium places! Good pick Toast, even if we had to wait 2 and a half weeks for it, it was worth it!

Only fair to note Season 5 contestant Willie Thorne's death here also: https://www.itv.com/news/2020-06-17/snooker-legend-willie-thorne-dies-after-leukaemia-diagnosis/

Poor Mr Thorne, loved his banter with Terry Griffiths back in the day. Far as I know, only one hit single in 1986! Gone from pink to blue far too soon.

Last for this section - been at it for hours and I think I'm of little help anyway. The Chords - the elusive Martin Mason seems to have given up on the band possibly appearing with them only until 2012 or so. Now there's this informative blurb which does indicate that Mason and his cousin Billy Hassett were around the same age with Chris Pope being a year younger. http://www.chrishunt.biz/features54.html So possibly you can say that Mason is born 1959 or 1960. Edit: There is this: City Boy - all I have on Roy Ward that he was either from or at some point resident in Harrow and possibly the Roy is for Royston. Edit: And then there is this: Utterly dispiriting after my success with Chic! Next!

Chic. Andy Schwartz is also known as Andrew Barrett and this is him: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0057059/ If you look up Andrew Barrett on Discogs you'll find his alias is Andy Schwartz. Definitely him, I've linked this with a Chic site which I can go back to if you need. Rob Sabino is one of the most famous unknown keyboard players out there - he's played on loads of things. Now while I'm struggling to pin anything concrete down, I'm fairly confident we can say he was born in the Bronx, NYC in 1953. We have this: https://www.villagelife.com/news/church-music-director-is-so-chic/?__cf_chl_captcha_tk__=369f7de8e3491ef7c4357dc54fc25e6bb07ced45-1592331489-0-AZ14DBSW4sfnmTQgNpyVCJ3k6cDMhHCQiCVe1D5Nue8-whkmg49rNc5DsjxsS-gbfaIILg1dOjPNgPKLQXCdQYX2QMsTNhymgYwQSeKrW5efhyrWwRtmfzVP2jKvxzL6auev03LDa2kXFsKyYbR79TMujwuW3l1sf8rf613f8V3b5N7dOzIBC1XMVXiLyjxKA710hyAS3EkHmCWDqTnhJPX139z4Dzz81aOTj0rQHGdK_L4khJW_vSJ5qU09fje6FJdoNwvOCx81wtTbaSbHb9_nomU6smGH7QqN7TjlDGNZBB2xsTTIlWxlBNsFkREaAUjWjjbJZIOEucb347336xROivwzODYvSBAHcUFUK6HZ-IrPRD4oLzcOBfLEtrYVSFLH-_h-yGZG3kW92FlGMcnolXxIHsHWy0WLRpbuhDUa_0ozfjidGRszXdNM52hlDdqBb4ejFwGpaCIq3lWIqdKWMVdOLvBSoxD7utTgm_VR_RGKJz5oSjtOK-aUeYvTovfxBkBvoGf2tC0B0tp5dhDSE6msVOriiEpt2MEHWBz9 which, once you get by the security says he was 39 in 1992 when he met his wife.

Cirrus. Probably not telling you anything you don't know. Graham de Wilde did the original advert music, probably using session musicians. Now this man has form, appearing on a couple of 80s hits notably Wikka Wrap so I've looked into his stuff before - I'd put money on him double tracking himself on this single. Co-writing credit goes to Bert Weedon - I'd stake my life on him playing guitar on it and if he's credited it's probably because he was involved in extending a 1 minute track into a 3min 50 single. All this for 1 week at #62? Jeez!

Well, I can't seem to follow the link to the original interview from which this was lifted. There are similar headlines regarding ole Sherrie's "fears" dating all over the place, as early as 7 April, but gawd knows. Someone might like to look up "Loose Women Sherrie in tears brother" and find a video as this is where it all stems from. While I'm trawling the net for @Ulitzer95 and bloody Cirrus! -

Political Discussions And Ranting Thread
YoungWillz replied to Deathray's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
Soo, a few months ago wasn't it Matt Hancock or some other bugger in the Government who was asking footballers to put their hands in their pockets and support their communities? Then some kickabout player Rashford weighs in and gets the Government to put their hands on their magic money tree to provide school meals to English kids over the summer! Ah, sweet reversal of fortune! (Well that and Scotland and Wales were going to do it anyway!) -
So, I have to update this with the death of Sherrie Hewson's brother, Brett Sinclair.

Neibaur is probably as reliable a source you'll get for performers of some vintage. If he says she's dead, she dead.

Did he? Already knew I was going to update so thought he'd troll me by doing one first? Pah, I say. I haven't spent hours - I have spent three years on the list on Page 127 of this thread, updating it once a fortnight, and have a list as long as your arm for those about to turn 75 in the next three years. Work's already been done. So we know who's wasted their time, say I.

Not sure what you mean? My list comes from the ole Deathray and updated 3 years ago. I've now as promised brought this forward and will keep it updated. Remember, there are no other lists than the one made by Carlsberg - which is the easily referred to list above. Christ even Deathers couldn't be arsed to keep his old one up to date.
