    Political Frailty

    Meantime, here is a very general list of MPs by age of death in the last three years: 90+ Labour - 10 Conservative - 8 Liberal - 1 85-89 Labour - 13 Conservative - 8 Labour then SDP - 2 Conservative then SDP - 1 80-84 Labour - 7 Conservative - 12 Liberal - 1 SDLP - 1 Labour then SDP then LibDem - 1 75-79 Labour - 4 Conservative - 6 LibDem - 1 SNP - 1 Of course this can only be a rough guide as you would have to take into account weighting of number of MPs depending on the majority the Governments held and the relative strength of the parties per Parliament. And probably how long people were MPs - someone might want to look at that. My opinion is - longer you are sitting on your arse gabbing instead of doing a proper job, longer you'll live!

    UK Singles Chart

    Probably the most definite for The Chequers though it may be all the players were involved somewhere. See the picture here and the line up (some mis-spellings? Spears and Speers?): http://www.45spaces.com/pop-stars/r.php?r=pop772900 Think that's me for this section. Cats UK - turning turning over stuff and coming up with nowt. Carvells - Stapleford working for Resonance FM; Griffiths takes up photography and moves to Tennessee, who knows where, Couloris I've heard or seen that name before somewhere but can't remember, Dunstan eludes. It's good because you are obviously getting clued in the searches leaving me with nothing.

    The Carvells. Still working on this but is Alan Carvell of this group also Steve Allan of Together We Are Beautiful (1979) mentioned earlier?

    The Chequers. This appears to be from someone who had their album which includes Rock On Brother: https://johnkatsmc5.tumblr.com/post/614590008195694592/the-chequers-check-us-out-1976-uk-disco-soul however he does say it's a 6 man outfit so I'm guessing he includes John Mathias (producer and composer) and Tom Moulton that he mentions. I guess we could have a look for these if you think it's worth it? Congas – Mike Spears Flute – Andy Dummit Saxophone – Andy Dummit Strings – Ken Freeman Synthesizer – Ken Freeman Trumpet – Mike Phillips

    Rocco Forte is on Question Time. Now, it's either my contrast on the telly that's gone, or he looks like a walking skin cancer.

    Last for this section - Linda Carr. Difficult to find anything except chart entries for this dame. According to a comment from 12 years ago on this YouTube clip, she was already dead then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9dcKUtvy9E

    Candlewick Green. This copy of the Record Mirror from February 1974 helpfully gives the boys' ages: https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Record-Mirror/70s/74/Record-Mirror-1974-02-02.pdf Terry Webb - 24; Jimmy Nunnery - 24; Alan Leyland - 27; Derek Cleary - 24 and Andy Ball - 22 (all Feb 1974 ages). That should narrow the search for people with those ages. Andy Ball seems to be over in the Costa Brava, forming a choir last year (though not much since May 2019): http://cachondeochoir.com/about/

    Sir Michael Beavis, who rose to become Air Chief Marshal in the RAF, dead at 90: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/242358/beavis Rather more interestingly, in 1961 he set a then record for the fastest non-stop flight from the UK to Australia (just over 20 hours).
