RIP

I have very fond memories of Cliff. He was a gentle soul. RIP Captain.

Andy, I hope you don't mind, but I have quoted your post here https://climbing-history.org/climber/2047/cliff-phillips as I thought it was a lovely piece.

 

[grimer]

Yes, Cliff would always say hello to me. Which meant a lot.

Yes, of course. No problem at all.

Just been told that Adam Pepper has passed away. I don't know any details but someone has posted something on Adam's FB page (https://www.facebook.com/adam.pepper.94).

Condolences to his family especially Ben and Joe

 

[Nails]

Really sorry to hear this. Adam was a big character and a lot of fun. RIP

 

[Falling Down]

Oh flip. How sad. Thanks for letting us know Graeme. RIP Adam and condolences Ben, Joe and Kate and the Pepper family.

Oh lord. I came to post on this thread about someone else, but that is really awful news.

Steve Albini

This is what I was going to post yesterday evening when I saw the news about Adam. Albini was a titan for both his own bands and his production work.

Legend. I didn’t realise how many metal albums he’d produced before browsing his discogs https://www.discogs.com/artist/59373-Steve-Albini?superFilter=Production&creditFilter=Producer

I just saw that in memorandum the BBC site now has his 1995 essential mix up. - I taped it off the radio onto cassette back in 1995!
Fond memories of hearing him at Speed in London and at the Tribal Gathering festival!

MC Conrad :'(
A very good friend was massively into Jungle, I not so, more house/trance but certainly entertained it. He persuaded me to go to Lebateu's in the 'pool once. Both 18 at the time. We floated into the backroom, which would fit 100-150 at best with Fabio, Grooverider & MC Conrad at the helm. I'll never forget that night. 1995. Magical times.

Cheers for that.. just been listening. I think I must have had it on tape too, I seem to be able to recall all the words, as you do. Was a massive LTJ, PFM Looking Good/Good Looking fan.
