Bibliogryphon 9,582 Posted March 20, 2014 At David Frost memorial service last week most people looked well. The only person who I thought might be worth keeping an eye on was Andrew Neil. He looked well rough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,527 Posted March 26, 2014 Former Melody Maker journalist David Jennings has died at the age of 54. His place in history is mainly due to a dismissive 1992 review of the French group Darlin', describe them as a "daft punky thrash". Members of Darlin' later used that name for an electronica act they formed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinegar Tits 606 Posted March 27, 2014 Really sad news about Dave Jennings. He used to share a flat with a mate of mine in London (I remember meeting him the night of the infamous L7 'The Word' performance) and I was chatting with him on Facebook only a few weeks ago.
