timtum Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I've just heard that Steve "Bear" Hall has died.

Gerrumonside ref Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I think like many my first experience of the Prodigy was hearing Charlie (on a mixtape that had been smuggled out of Wigan Pier). There was nothing too groundbreaking about it I guess except a sample from a public safety film that we were all familiar with. But then came the constant churn of top tunes and albums that spoke of the talent within the Prodigy. I even remember us as lads trying to study Keith and Leroy’s dance moves - I think it’s first time any of us had ever tried to do that ahead of a big night out. Thanks for all the great times, Keith. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff9of13 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I wasn't the greatest fan of his music (a bit too old possibly) but there seems a lot of genuine affection for him out there. He also seemed to be a genuinely nice bloke. So sad that he thought it necessary to take his own life. 2 "it is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it."

Futtocks Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Jacques Loussier (26 October 1934 – 5 March 2019), French jazz pianist and composer. His jazzed-up Bach was not really to my taste, but he was very big in his day. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.
