Oh well, fingers crossed and then just one more Ian to go…

Steps aren’t touring for the foreseeable future so he’s probably safe for a while.

-          1939: John Sheahan (Dubliners)
*snip*

Seems to have been misinformation flying around Facebook the other day that John Sheahan (wiki) had died. Careless whispers or another one away to kick the bucket? Difficult to judge, but the last performance of his I can find was over 12 months ago now. Yes, he's 84 but Sheahan was incredibly active and never seemed to stop making appearances/performing.

Worth keeping an eye on...

The last of The Dubliners from any of their iconic 1960s lineups. Expect QOs aplenty.

Erkin Koray, terrific Turkish rock pioneer is dead at 82. When I was in Sweden back in 2019, I had a great conversation with a Turkish guy who referred to him as “the Alice Cooper of Turkey”

Another DDP pick.

 

Think he was a former pick of mine - not the greatest health the past few iirc.

[RIP Wee Jum 1,559]

And then there was one

The oldest member, Garth Hudson

What a man !

Fuck Robbie Robertson, he was the reason The Band split in the first place

Great. A new name for my theme list next year. Gary Roslington did not die in vain. 

 

He might be a bastard, he did write gems like the Weight and this one.

The oldest snapper in town. As a reference point, RR was like a cross between Barry Manilow and both of Sparks, ok?

 

I read his autobiography but I don’t remember being particularly impressed or unimpressed.

Garth not looking great in this clip.  But still a wizard on the piano

Go and watch The Last Waltz the last concert by The Band. 

One of the greatest concert films ever made.  It was directed by Martin Scorsese

You’re my age I believe, thereabouts.  You left ‘young whippersnapper’ behind 25 years ago.

One of these things - a voodoo amulet believed to protect the wearer...etc. Though the darkly jazzy piano player/singer Dr. John also used the name for an album title.
