went to see his band 'Dare' at the Queen Elizabeth Hall Oldham sometime around 1987, I remember the lead singer had been in thin lizzy don't remember anything about Mr Cox,
I quite like him in his professor guise not so much in his musician one.

Darren Wharton was Lizzy's keyboard player for their final few years ... co-wrote one of their best latter day songs, The Sun Goes Down.

Lynott was put onto him when he was playing keys in Tropicana nightclub by night, and demoing pianos etc in Swans on Oldham St by day .... Good Failsworth lad, who we knew from his days of backing the 'turns' at Christ The King Catholic Club, Newton Heath with a drummer mate of ours ...
Dare going again now, new album just released, with original Chaddy lad, Vinnie Burns on guitar .... don't think Cox is back though ... ;-)

Earliest gigs I recall for Dare were at Maple Leaf Squash Club in Chadderton.

Cox far right ...
 
Physics needs chaps like him to relate stuff to youngsters, the next theoretical physicists etc. My father thinks he 'should be in the bloody lab'.

I think Sean Pertwee is the best narrator for cosmology shows though.
 
He lived across the road from me in chadder ton growing up. . He was definitely different to the rest of us Yonners....

As for his swearing who gives a fook about that.

He is sometimes on radio 6 Shaun Keavneys morning show, he is good on that.

Maple leaf squash club, love it.

The squash club or the Blue Bell next door?

The Sunday afternoon transvestite karaoke host in there was brilliant (or I was pissed)

You may remember Jimmy frizzell lived across the road from maple leaf....
 
I can handle him on radio. His wistful stares off into the middle distance whilst he explains something massive does my fucking fruit in.
 
He came up with the piano in this



He played Your Silent Face with New Order recently



Because of this, he's alright with me.
 
I think he's really good. His love of science really comes across and I can imagine he has got an awful lot of kids interested in a very difficult subject.

I like Sean Pertwee, that scene from Dog Soldiers when he's fighting the dog for his own intestines is funny as fuck. Never realised Worzel Gummidge was his dad though.

You do realise that being from Oldham makes him a muffinista. Just like Guy.
