Aye, sad to see him gone.

First saw Buzzcocks at an Anti-Nazi League rally in Manchester in '77. Next around '79 at a club in Sheffield and Joy Division were the support. Last saw 'em maybe 15 years back. Pete had put on the pounds - enjoying himself, I hope. Loads of good memories with Pete Shelley connections.

Early Buzzcocks using a riff that I guess had been left them by Howard Devoto - he used it again with Magazine's 'Shot By Both Sides':

Pete solo - colliding with early '80s sequencing; still toe-tapping though:

His '76 electronic/synth recordings Cinema Music & Wallpaper Sounds is superb. It finally got a release couple of years ago.

There's no need to get offensive about my former wife. Are you trying to provoke another TAMB suicide note?;)

Apologies.

(That'll be my mask slipping again.)

I just remembered, I saw them at a festival, sex pistols' filthy lucre tour if I recall.... 

Finsbury Park 1996?

(I was there.)

The very same (though I don't remember the set). I remember Skunk Anansie and Super Furry Animals,... and some forgettable Britpop, which I forgot
