Brian Kellock.
Not a household name, but a huge name in the jazz world, here and abroad.
Used to love watching him batter hell out of the keys on the old upright in Henry's, and then seamlessly sitting back and letting the singer do their stuff with the most beautiful of accompaniments.
And, it has to be said, a Hibby. :flag:

My mate's brother in law. Saw him a couple of times in Henry's. Not my music but I could totally appreciate how good he was. Wonderful piano player.Quote:

RIP Lachie Stewart, 1970 Commonwealth Games 10,000 metres gold medallist. I was jumping up and down in front of the telly that day, what a run.
I was lucky enough to be there.Quote:

Oh that's a shame. One of the few authors I'd treat like a rock band, automatically buying every book they released as it was released.Quote:

This one hits hard. I'm lucky to have had the Beach Boys featuring in my youth.Quote:

That’s a sore one. Genius and tortured soul. The version of Smile he finally released in 2004 is just sublime, one of those albums I frequently play from start to finish.Quote:

Very sad. A true musical genius. Just listened to a wonderful tribute on 5 Live from Dr Joe Bennett. RIP Brian. One of the greatest of all time 🙌
I saw Brian Wilson headline the Pet Sounds Arena at T In The Park in the mid 2000s (2007 maybe). He was well past his best as a live act by then but he still had a real presence and held the crowd captive for his whole set.
Thinking back the line up that year was absolutely brilliant across every stage and he was my absolute highlight. So many other people made reference to the fact he was present during their own sets.

Aww man RIP Brian.
My dad introduced me to the beach boys when I was in my teens, in particular Pet Sounds. “Listen to that instead of that rubbish you normally listen to” Ohh wow! Never heard anything like it and from then on only ever listened to stuff my dad gave me.
God only knows is a work of art!!
I think McCartney said they had to come up with something special to compete with Pet Sounds and it inspired them to write Sgt Peppers. High praise indeed.

RIP Brian Wilson an icon in music, I grew up listening to the Beach Boys music.
Not so much a celebrity, but an inspiration to many.

Name edited to bypass the swear filter :)
Nitzer Ebb's Douglas McCarthy dead at 58 from likely liver cirrhosis. As an industrial fan these guys were massive in shaping my musical tastes as a teenager. Devastated.
Woke up to Good Vibrations this morning and the news that Brian Wilson had died.Quote:

Went down a bit of a Beach Boys rabbit hole tonight and ended up starting a documentary on The Wrecking Crew. Incredible stories if you’re not familiar. It’s on YouTube.
Saw that a while back. Made by one of the WC's sons. Sadly not a huge amount of footage but the stories and the story of them is brilliant.Quote:

Just going back to Brian Wilson, as someone born in the 60’s, most of their early records were before my time.
I got a sharp cassette radio player in the mid 70’s and bought 4 cassettes. One of these was the Beach Boys 20 Golden Greats
I kind of followed them retrospectively
I loved their last album, that’s why God Made the radio
The last song on it, and the last ever Beach Boys song was Summer’s Gone. Seemingly Brian had held this back over the years to be the last Beach Boys song, just classic Beach Boys. Any idea when it was written?
I read Springsteen beautiful tribute to Brian/Beach Boys last week
“ Brian Wilson was the most musically inventive voice in all of pop, with an otherworldly ear for harmony. He was also the visionary leader of America’s greatest band, The Beach Boys. If there’d been no Beach Boys, there would have been no “Racing In The Street
Listen to “Summer’s Gone” from The Beach Boys’ last album “That’s Why God Made The Radio” and weep. Farewell, Maestro. Nothing but love and a lovely lasting debt from all of us over here on E Street.”
Bruce Springsteen
News reporter/presenter Sandy Gall. Pretty much an ever present on news programmes in the eighties.
I always thought he looked pretty old but didn’t appreciate he was born in 1927. A good innings and a familiar face from my youth. RIP Sandy.Quote:
