Another one bits the dust, Chris rea has left the stage, his double album Dancing down the stony road was a brilliant departure from his more Soft rock songs, if you haven't heard it try to give it a chance.

Sad news today that Chris Rea has passed away aged 74. I remember speaking to him at Castle Combe Race circuit and he was interested in my then Caterham 7 and he told me that he still had his, which was featured on his album cover Auberge. R.I.P.
Very sad news indeed. For me Stainsby Girls was a great song and Gonna Buy a Hat will always be remembered for a great song with the most bizarre lyrics. And a great supporter of cleaning up our rivers - a truly good human being. RIP sir.
Many years ago I accidently bought (on line) his Blue book, best buy I ever made. Saw him recently on TV talking about his health issues on gone fishing with Bob Mortimer it's amazing he survived so long but thankfully he did. RIP Chris you will be missed.
