R.I.P. Tony McPhee
I only just found out about Tony's death today, he died on the 6th June this year, very sad to hear about it. I saw the Groundhogs at about the turn of the 1960's at the Marquee in London and the next time I saw Tony he was doing a solo acoustic gig at the Railway Inn in Torquay in the 1990's I took one of my Groundhog albums along to his solo gig and he kindly signed it for me.

Very sad to hear that Annie Nightingale passed on January 11th. She was someone I listened to a lot on Radio 1 in the 1980's. I heard everything from The Beatles, Led Zep, Steve Miller, Tim Buckly and bands such as the Bluebells and early dance music. My teen years are fading into darkness.
By the way. Paul gave an interview to Annie in the documentary of her life 'Bird on the Wireless' it might be online somewhere if you do not have BBC iPlayer.

Melanie Safka 1947 - 2023
I was a 9 year old when Brand New Key was one of those songs that had people talking about . I had the single , surprisingly it was the B Side that got most my attention as the years went by , Some Say (I Got Devil ) Melanie was my female folk artist that would be followed by Joni Mitchell and many more . It was a shock this morning to see she had passed away . She was one of the beautiful people
