I still have a couple of their 12" singles, which I'll be playing soon. I'm a huge fan of TMTCH. I was gutted by this news. When I first saw 'Cush' trending on Twitter, I didn't think it would be about TMTCH at all, as they are not the kind of band that would ever trend on Twitter, but I clicked on it anyway and couldn't believe what I was reading. Aside from owning all their stuff, I've seen them live many times and they were always a great night out. Phil 'Swill' Odgers has the better 'traditional' singing voice, but Cush brought the edge to their music. Together, their anthemic harmonising could send shivers down your spine or make you want to start a revolution! Have a listen to The Ghosts of Cable Street or The Colours to see what I mean. I once saw them do an impromptu gig at a pub in Keighley when a festival they had been due to appear at got cancelled at the last minute. Leaving the pub after the gig, Swill was out the back having a cig and shouted across to me to say 'thanks for coming'. They were that sort of band. I loved 'em. Really sad there will be no more nights like that. 1 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One hell of a band. Edited February 7, 2021 by Futtocks 2 Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

tim2 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Peter Lawrence, father of missing Claudia Lawrence, aged 74. I always felt for him whenever I saw him on TV - her disappearence really hit him hard but at least he turned it into something positive. 1 "I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
