I saw Ken Dodd and Paul Daniels back in the 70s, both performing at childrens' parties (I would have been around 6 or 7).

Both sadly missed.

Genuinely gutted when I heard about his passing - There are people who you think 'Oh, I'll see them play at some point, they'e bound to do another tour'. First Lux Interior, then Adam Yauch and now Chas. Rabbit In Peace.

Yah, that sucks. I managed to see them once in Telford's Warehouse in Chester. A tiny venue with just the 3 of them and it was outstanding. It was like a kids birthday party for adults - definitely the happiest gig I've been to.

They did a summer gig at the Hobbit in Southampton, years ago, and had well over 500 pissed up people dancing in the sun for a good couple of hours. Absolutely hilarious and brilliant fun. Will be missed

Do I misremember, or did they finish with a Beatles medley too? Weird mini festival!

Charles Aznavour just died. 94 years old, still had all his marbles, was supposed to be starting a tour.

Couldn't stand his songs, but he was a mischievous old bugger.

Carlos Ezquerra, one of the most well known artists to have worked for the SF anthology comic "2000AD", has died:

Ezquerra is probably most famous for his work on "Judge Dredd" (having helped co-create the character with John Wagner) but his highly distinctive, tyre-tread outline style was also seen in "Strontium Dog" and a great many other works in collaboration with other well known comic book creators. Theres a lot to choose from, but my pick for his definitive work would be "The Apocalypse War", which can be found in "Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files Volume 5".

This has hit me badly, I got to know Ben at various retro events and he was such a great guy.
