    Bugger!!

    Saw The Buzzcocks in a small, sweaty pub on Southend seafront years ago, fantastic gig!

    Sad news :( . Glad I went to see them 3 years back at the Cambridge Corn Exchange.

    It got a few mentions on the 'Beatles' thread as well.

    Very sad, saw them a few times, never met him but always seemed a decent bloke too.

    Do pray tell. (I was going to suggest Orgasm Addict :wink: but no that would be just silly)

    I'd forgotten he wrote the C4 theme tune for Le Tour. And now I've gone down a YouTube rabbit Warren but what about this for a delightful start to the day. His theme followed by 9 minutes of footage of one of the greatest Tours ever seen ?
