Superb thought the selecters version was good but the original tops it

Love the skinhead girl look plenty round brighton & surrounding areas back in the day

Maybe that's who I mean, must getting too old, memory and all that.

Happens to the best of us! A couple of the guys from Booker T were part of the Blues Brothers band in the movie.

They were also the backing band for the late great Otis Redding.

Sad news indeed, I’m sure this certainly deserves it own thread bearing in mind the amount that are started on here in memory of those that once had a drink with a c list “celebrity”

That's no way to talk about Lenny Rider

Honestly though, you’ve got a quality musician here from a very popular band back in the day (who were still touring until recently)
Some of them RIP threads are dedicated to people as well known as Big Ron from Eastenders

Certainly, but noting the thread starter, who was a poster I liked and sadly no longer with us, I thought 'why not'.

Ah yes, indeed, fair comment.

Big Ron is gone? Ronnie?

Poor Ron.

Poor, poor, poor poor Ronnie.

Didn’t you notice the lack of spoon playing recently?

Thankfully I haven't noticed anything in Eastenders for more than 20 years! (Didn't even know that Big Ron was actually a character, I thought you had made him up).

We are devastated to confirm that Selecter frontman Arthur ‘Gaps’ Hendrickson has died after a short illness. The world has lost a 2-Tone original, a talented musician and an absolute gentlemen. We have lost our beloved friend and bandmate. RIP Gaps

I went to a ska thing at the Volks a couple of weeks ago.
Was ok and the guy who fronted the band harped on a lot about writing all the songs when he was in Bad Manners.
Going back to Oz tonight, I also got to have a beer with Peter Test Tube as well, and beat him at pool.
Made up for him beating me in our local singles knockout some years back, when I was 3 -0 up in a best of 7 final !!
I blame the alcohol !
