chrisp65 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) I think people dropped Rico in the music threads.Rico the perpetual backing band man that got the biggest cheer. Last time I saw him was up at Brecon Jazz festival about 6 or 7 years ago, in a marquee tent. He was doing his stint with Jools Holland and despite my misgivings about going to a jazz festival to see Mr Holland's big band it was phenomenal, with Rico an absolute highlight. I'd seen him about 20 years earlier and didn't really know who he was back then.Ooh, he was also the inspiration for The Barry Horns*, who themselves have gone on to be great and recently played backing to the mini Super Furries tour. *The Barry Horns are an eleven-piece brass band, made up of fans of the Welsh national football team. Formed in 2011, the band's name is a homage to retired Welsh footballer Barry Horne. Wikipedia* Edited September 5, 2015 by chrisp65 oooh, another thing....

El Zen Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Yogi Berra, Yankee legend and American hero, passed away last night. He was 90 years old. Ten World Series championships, three time MVP and an all star 15 years in a row, yet he was arguably more loved for his personality than for his ability. One of his famous Yogi-isms was 'It ain't over 'til it's over'. Well, now it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted September 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 23, 2015 Most of us in the UK were familiar with Yogi Bear without having heard of Berra, so we didn't realise where the name came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Yogi was a legend, sad news for the baseball world. He was before my time so I don't hate him like the rest of the Yankees from the late 70's onward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
