Marianne Faithful another 60's Icon gone.....more than just a muse an artist in her own right RIP..

Sad indeed, but I'm unfamiliar with her music and I'm afraid it's one of those 'didn't she die years ago?' scenarios for me...

A really excellent intimate concert of hers on BBC4 last night (avail.on catch up) if you are interested.

Just heard that The Jam drummer Rick Buckler has died.

Just reading about it now very sad news 69 too young...saw him twice when The Jam played over here in Jersey and also with the early version of From The Jam with Bruce Foxton..RIP.

Funnily enough I saw a tribute act to The Jam called 'The Jam'd' a couple of weeks ago.  Do see them if you get chance, they were excellent.  I hadn't listened to anything by The Jam in a while but they reminded me of how superb that band was, yes they played the usual hits but plenty of deep cuts as well and it's led me to listen once again to the full output of this great band...

I'd certainly say that they were one of the ten best ever bands from the UK.
