Folk legend Wizz Jones..   

Only saw him live once, but he was a damn good guitarist and influenced a lot of folk guitarists. Check out  his appearance on the hillarious Alan Whicker BBC reportage from 1960 about Newquay getting uppity with the dirty beatniks who came down for the summer...

One of my favourite songs from the underrated Meg Myers...her beautiful voice and her way of singing never fails to move me:

Mike Peters. Legend.

The Alarm emerged the same time as NMA and saw them together at The Lyceum, London in 1984.

Both bands had mutual fans in those early days. Mike was honest and always positive. A great role model.

Thoughts go out to his wife Jules, his 2 boys and of course his wider family and friends.

God bless Mike x

Very sad news i was shocked to hear about  it, i knew he had been fighting cancer for many years.....he was on Radio 5 Live with his wife only a few months back and seemed very positive about new treatment he was receiving...i am sure there will be  a mention on todays show..RIP.

Mike Peters - The Alarm...such sad news!

The Alarm was my best friend's favourite band back in the day - we saw them quite a few times and then, I think it was in 2000, we saw Big Country's last show...and Mike Peters was opening with The Alarm.

He seemed like a genuinley nice guy and the way he never gave up, remained strong and positive, fighting cancer repeatedly - and fighting to raise money and awareness for others fighting cancer - now, that was beyond courageous and inspirational.

Things seemed to be looking so very promising after his latest treatment - and that must have been really tough, too...

Very sorry for his family and friends.
