Hello again,
A very happy 2016 to all That Music List readers/listeners/both (delete as applicable) - let the new year deal us all a fair hand.
It's back to the regular weekly updates for the winter, I think, starting with a mish-mash of hitherto overlooked 2015 highlights and some other morsels from further back - yep, including a couple or three that couldn't fit onto any of the 1985 or 1995 specials, I admit...
The passing of both Motorhead stalwart Lemmy and raver Guru Josh over the festive period have already been extensively documented elsewhere; perhaps less so, however, that of John Bradbury, drummer with The Specials. Coventry to his fingertips, to the extent of never having moved away from the city, he was 62. A selection from almost exactly 35 years ago, which those of you following BBC4's recent reruns of 1980/1 Top of the Pops episodes will have seen only a fortnight ago, is included as tribute.
