Obscure one, but we need to tip a little liqour on the kerb for Ricky Jay.


First saw him on C4 on Simon Drake's "Secret Cabaret" back in the day doing (I'm pretty sure) this routine and was absolutely spellbound.


His career spanned way beyond his magic, but if you look on YouTube you will see that his card manipulation marks him out as a true talent, not only in technical execution but also the performative element.


Anyway. Ricky Jay RIP.

Paul Sherwen, legendary voice of cycling commentary and specifically the voice of many a tour highlights on channel 4/itv. These highlight shows were a real family affair for me growing up and we would all sit down every night to watch for those first three weeks of July, some great memories.

Saw him/them at Tramlines a couple of years ago, I was fairly close to the front bouncing up and down in an oldish kind of way alongside a certain Chris The Tall. Double fuck.

Sad news being reported on UKC and Lancashire Rock Revival (Facebook) that Al Evans has died.
I think funeral details are to be posted on Lancashire Rock Revival.

Sad to hear of Daves passing.  He was a teacher (along with Colin Foord and Jim Rubbery) at Lady Manners in Bakewell when I was a 6th former there and would aways be happy to listen to our latest exploits and offer kind and wise encouragement. 

Rest in Peace Dave.

Al's article "Slippery Slope" has always stuck in my head and I know a few people who appreciated it

I remember those 3 at Lady Manners very well. Dave brought in Extreme Rock for a sneak preview....

Sad to hear that.
