Pushing Up The Daisies

Not too much of a shock, unfortunately, but tragic.

Saw her live at The Mandela Hall in Belfast in 1988, with Andy Rourke (also recently passed away) and Mike Joyce - both formerly of The Smiths - on bass and drums respectively. Cracking gig.

The first two albums were absolute belters.
She had an absolutely amazing voice. There were a lot of mental health issues and she was also dealing with the loss of her son last year.

That's two big losses for Irish music this year with Sinead and Christy Dignam. Shane McGowan is supposed to be in a bad way too.
 
I can remember back in the day the BBC closed down when Parky had finished. Fvck the Schedule! Absolute Legend!

This was my favourite ever Parky moment. One of those one off, goosebumps, glad I was there moments


RIP mate and thank you.
 
The longer format interviews were really good, compared to the ADHD zoo format ones you get today. It was much more in-depth one guest, one hour etc. I was fairly ambivalent to him though.

The talent he had around him in the early years helped a lot, way more interesting to listen to than the plastic idiots these days.
