Jeff Beck. This is one of those that really hurts. I've been a fan since forever ago OBITA sad day. I was & am a Yardbirds fan Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page & Jeff Beck all members, the precursor of Lead Zeppelin, Mid 1966 Page bass & Beck lead were together in the line up.

Another "big" loss, and we're only part way through January.

Wow, another great bites the dust.
I often play his excellent album If I Could Only Remember My Name.
RIP, David.

I know it's not music related but I'm sure many of us here grew up with The Beano Certainly did!

It's with great sadness I have to report that my friend, Sanderson "Top" Topham (a.k.a. Sanderson Rasjid), has passed, aged 75. I wrote a potted biography of Sanderson some time ago, and he was gracious enough to get in touch to thank me and tell me he enjoyed reading it and we stayed in touch, on and off, from then on.
A lot of people may never have heard his name before, but he was a founding member of the Yardbirds and a stalwart of the Blue Horizon label at the outset of his career. He was one of the great British blues guitarists and a true original.
Here's the piece I wrote about him, in full.
Rest in peace, mate.
