Just heard about Christine McVie on the radio. RIP Christine
Another talented musician sadly lost. 
Chicken Shack blimey that was well buried in disconnected synapses. Great Blues band of the 60s.

Country singer Jake Flint died yesterday at 37 , hours after getting married.
Yeah, I remember Chicken shack very well, I saw them live twice - Chrissie had a gorgeous voice! In Fleetwood Mac I think because of her lower register voice she got to be a bit pushed into the background when Stevie Nicks joined them, but without Stevie and her rather unique vocals I donât think that they would have had the success they did.

I was super-massive into The Stranglers as a teenager. I had their first five albums and loads of singles and knew every lyric of every song.
Sad.

OH MY,âŚWhat a story Toby

Sad news about Terry Hall.
2-tone and The Specials in particular brought new flavours of music into my life.
I did literally move some grooves at a school disco to some Specials, Madness etc.

Sad loss of Terry Hall. I was a big Ska fan back in the day, they kept me going through my teenage angst.
I saw The Specials at a festival in the summer, turns out the last UK gig they did with TH at least, he was his usual sardonic self.
Someone set off the pyrotechnic display halfway through their last number drowning them out ,TH âOh great , fireworksâ, turned round and walked offâŚ
