Just heard that Frank Field has died. A genuinely decent human being. A very rare thing in politics.

RIP Frank.

Really sad news that founding member of the Moody Blues, Mike Pinder has passed away.

Mike was a key part of their transition from an R&B band to early prog rock. He was a friend of John Lennon and introduced him to the Mellotron.

He also won an Ivor Novello composers award for his song A Simple Game which was a hit for The Four Tops.

Although there was obviously rancor in his split from the Moodies in the late 70s, he always came across as an intelligent and decent person.

As a huge Moodies fan it’s sad to see another member pass away.



RIP Mike
