deadsox 894 Posted June 4, 2016 Pete Zorn, a different person to Pete Yorn, dead at 65, So he was a musician w Richard Thompson, which pulls this into Fairport Convention discussions we've had in a couple threads. Look for another FC hit this year. It's symbiotic. SC I wouldn't be too surprised if the Swarb were to go this year. I'm really going to have to stop doing this about people I like. But will you continue to do it about people you don't like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 22, 2017 I don't mind folk music, it's fine by me in smaller doses. But I could name all the folk bands I know on one hand. The Roches was one of them....a friend turned me into them about 1991. So this sucks. RIP Maggie Roche, the folk-rock singer-songwriter who since the mid-1970s had performed and recorded as a trio and in pairs with her two sisters, has died. Roche died of cancer, according to a statement posted online Saturday by her sister and bandmate Suzzy Roche. She was 65.

gcreptile 10,974 Posted April 16, 2017 Surely, a Guardian obit will appear post-Easter? For some reason, I thought he had cancer. But Wikipedia has him dying from stroke complications. He survived rather long in hospice, far longer than the 6 months imlied by hospice admission laws. Though at some point, I read that it was not a hospice but "merely" a care home. I might be reading it all wrong though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,977 Posted April 16, 2017 Even if he outlived DDP usefulness for me, (that he lived so long after entering hospice was definitely one of my worst bits of DDP luck, bar the Martin Crowe thing) Langhorne still is one of my personal fav selections from my DDP history. The mix of being an interesting character (tidbits like losing several fingers when a school rocket project went awry) and the cool feeling of landing a name DDT mentioned years ago through your own research. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
