I was thinking after Bonnie Tyler that not every dead celeb needs their own thread. Might be easier to catch them all in one.
Today we have Bill Oddie. Not been aware of him for a long time but he's definitely a proper UK comedy institution.
Also, Lou Koller. Singer of Sick of it All died three days ago. Aged 59. Very sad.
Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore.

I think we missed Tom Skerritt. Played Dallas in Alien. He was great in that.

Not sure if this qualifies as a huge celed but the amazing /classy /beautiful soul Ciara Mageean died today after a short but cruel battle with cancer . Top of the world in 2024 winning gold for Ireland in the 1500 meters and a favourite for the podium in Paris only for this disease and like I always say fcuk cancer . RIP sweet lady

Another interesting piece here. Clem was a Gooner apparently and only agreed to audition for Johnny Kidd and the Pirates because Arsenal were away that day!

Michael 'Pancho' Locke from Dirty Sanchez. Dead at 47. He never struck me as someone who'd make it to old age but even so, that's far too young.

At the other end of the scale, classical conductor Herbert Blomsted, gone at 99. His last concert was in April, where he had to stop halfway through. They brought out an armchair and he finished conducting the piece from it.
I saw him at the Royal Festival Hall about two years ago. He barely made it across the stage, had to be helped up to the podium and then conducted for 40 minutes. Then he came back for a longer second half.

I hadn’t heard of the chap, TBH, but reading the obit I was struck by his sheer determination to keep doing something he loved and not give up; a real testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
It reminded me of soul legend Curtis Mayfield’s own personal battle after he was paralysed from the neck down in a freak onstage accident when a lighting rig collapsed on him. The story behind his final album New World Order is astonishing …

Thanks TwoHalves an interesting read. Vic Flick springs to mind, similar stories. So many unsung heroes from the early days of recorded music, musicians, producers, arrangers engineers.
Perhaps we never heard their names as the music business thrived on singles and when albums became more popular the sleeve notes were read.
Rest In Peace Clem Cattini

Thanks for the Vic Flick reminder. I must get around to tracking down a copy of his memoir Guitarman (hopefully via my local independent bookseller, not A**z*n).
I think journalist Richard Williams wrote a biography of Vic too, another one on my list (Richard’s music blog thebluemoment.com is worth dipping into from time to time).

I always found Tommy an entertaining watch.
Rest In Peace Tommy Walsh.
Came across as a good egg. He must have inspired thousands of us weekend bodgers to give it a go.
I bought an 18v cordless drill on his recommendation (my previous one could barely put a hole in a block of balsa wood) and even managed to tackle a bit of plastering on my own (with mixed results, it has to be said!)
