Victor Willis, frontman of the Village People has passed away age 76. Their stuff was quite infectious but my best memory of them will be driving down Northmoor Road, Longsight at 5mph in my mate's Daihatsu 4 Track with obnoxiously tacky sunglasses on. Windows down blasting Macho Man on a blazing hot day. We'd also do similar over Ancoats. It'd occasionally be In The Navy or, on an unrelated note, Tijuana Taxi by Herb Alpert.

Ah bugger. There goes my hope of them ever playing the cheesy pop slot at Download that’s become a stable of the Thursday night. Every year when they would send out the “who do you want to see at next years festival” I’d always put Village Peolple. Give them 20minutes in the middle of the afternoon sun and just have them play In The Navy, Macho Man, Go West and YMCA and people would’ve had a great time.

Tom Ligon has passed away aged 85. He passed on June 26th but the news has only just been made public.

I’ll remember him most as Alvin Yood in Oz, but in a wider spectrum he’ll be more known for appearances in Paint Your Wagon, Bang the Drum Slowly as well as an extensive theatre portfolio

When I got my first stereo for in my bedroom my mum gave me a bag full of old 7" singles, and one of them was Total Eclipse Of The Heart. Banger. Holding Out For A Hero was incredible as well.

Very sad.  She once referred to herself as Rod Stewart with tits which made me snort.

My uncle brought me this CD and some awesome smelling aftershave back from a fishing trip (deep sea trawlers, not Gavin & Stacey) in the early 90s and they were amongst my most prized posessions. Loved a bit of both, especially after a night out. Had an incredible innings. Rest easy, Bonnie.

I only discovered not long ago that Tyler beat Tina Turner to releasing 'The Best' by about a year, though obviously the Tina version is THE version, this is also quite fun. She had some well good and honestly ridiculously silly but great songs did Bonnie.

Sky have reported Ann Widdecombe has died at 78. The only thing I can say is I’m surprised she was on 78. I thought she was much older.

Horrid woman by all accounts, failed to get elected I think 3 times until she was parachuted into a safe Tory seat. Later defected to the Brexit party then reform just to further cement her legacy. Safe to say her biggest contribution to British politics was being shit on Strictly.

sincerely,

Lance.
