An Austin Princess with that paint work and blue flashing light just don't cut the mustard compared to a Ford Gran Torino
Loved that show growing up and didn’t mind his songs either because my mum played them to death on our music centre RIP Hutch!!

Well obviously not but commendable improvisation to work with what was available and in those shitty times too.

JPR Williams, fantastic Welsh full back from the 70s
This is a really sad one for me. My late Mum was Welsh and loved rugby, so my formative years in the 70s were dominated by that Welsh team of the time, with the utter lunatic that was "JPR" at the forefront (despite supposedly being a full-back!). A very talented surgeon to boot. Gone too soon.
As an Englishman I remember him terrorising England in what I remember as every game he played. My uncle was Welsh and a massive Rugby fan and he took me and my dad to an exhibition game in Cardiff next to the Arms Park and playing was "that" team so I can say that I watched JPR, JJ, John Dawes, Gareth Edwards, Barry John etc Al play.

Adan Canto. Only known him from Narcos and Designated Survivor in both of which I thought he was excellent. Only 42, to cancer.
Tony Clarkin, Magnum guitarist and songwriter. Never a huge band, but a steady respected career in metal circles.
Off to play some of it LOUD.

I dropped by the Broomfield Tavern a few years ago to see a band called, The Fred Skidmore Trio.
Very Hammond organ driven but their drummer was introduced (can't recall his name) as having previously played in Magnum.

Annie Nightingale, died yesterday after a short illness RIP
Oh shit, that's bad. One of the DJs on Radio 1 during my formative years. Sadly cast aside by the new wave of young talent.
Better than all the rest.
Rest easy Annie. You were a real gem. x
