    Bee Gees

    Aye, he was more known for drumming for Amen Corner, being an official member and part of their UK hits. Not really an official Bee Gee I'd say, rather than Colin Petersen who definitely was an official member.

    UK Singles Chart

    Cannot find anything age related on Geoff Bridgford from my usual sources. He pops up mid-60s with Steve And The Board - Melbourne based band I believe and their successor band Tin Tin. I know he has a FB page - nothing there? If I had to guess, I'd say born late 1940s. Perhaps something can be unearthed for him. I think he's married to Australian singer songwriter Kim O'Leary for whom there is little historical fact, but she also has the FB page.

    The Deathlist Poker Tournament 2024

    All right, we have made it to the middle of the penultimate month of the game. It behoves me as your manager to point out that those who have played a Joker (and those who will play a Joker in the remaining days of November) must convert their Joker by 30 November. Ensure you do this or I will be sorry, St Andrew will be sorry, and you will be sorry as potential bonuses may be lost. As I see it, those who have a Joker played so far are @MariNisia; @Perhaps and @JoeMoneypenny. Help will always be given at the Casino, so if you need any help in Joker conversion, I am here to assist. PM me with your queries and/or your decided card, or lose your conversion rights forever! You can hang on until the end of the month to see if any more picks drop, but leave it too late and the advantage may be lost.
