It struck me when it came in my news headlines, & we had just been talking about them.

That's bloody awful I loved his style of keyboard playing. His playing on Golden brown was just haunting and Strange little girl just blew me away.

We are deeply and profoundly saddened to announce the untimely passing of keyboard legend Dave Greenfield on the evening of 3rd May 2020. Following a stay in hospital for heart problems, Dave tested positive for the Covid-19 virus last Sunday but he sadly lost his battle last night. Dave had been an ever present in the band since joining in late 1975 and his keyboard wizardry was world-renowned over his 45 year career in The Stranglers. Dave was a lovable, friendly and eccentric character who always had time to chat.
We have received the following tributes from Dave’s fellow band members JJ, Jet and Baz as well as Sil the band’s manager:
“On the evening of Sunday May 3rd my great friend and longstanding colleague of 45 years, the musical genius that was Dave Greenfield, passed away as one of the victims of the Great Pandemic of 2020. All of us in the worldwide Stranglers’ family grieve and send our sincerest condolences to Pam.” – JJ Burnel
“We have just lost a dear friend and music genius, and so has the whole world. Dave was a complete natural in music. Together, we toured the globe endlessly and it was clear he was adored by millions. A huge talent, a great loss, he is dearly missed.” – Jet Black
“We lost a true innovator, musical legend, and one of my dearest friends today. The word genius is bandied around far too easily in this day and age, but Dave Greenfield certainly was one. We stood together on the same side of the stage for 20 years, laughed, joked and shared our lives in the way that only band mates can. I’ll miss him forever. Our thoughts and hearts are with his wife Pam, and to the millions of fans who worshipped at his altar, he’ll never be equalled.” – Baz Warne
“We are all in shock, Dave was a kind, generous soul who had time for anyone and everyone and it has been my privilege to have known him as both a close friend, his tech and manager for over 40 years. Our thoughts are with Pam at this sad time” – Sil Willcox
He is survived by his wife Pam and we ask you to respect Pam’s privacy at this very sad time.
Fly straight Mr G, fond adieu xx

Stranglers play a charity cricket match.

Talking about the Stranglers, I remember the day they held a charity cricket match in the Paddington Recreation Park just around the corner from where I live. I was in my twenties in 1979 when they organised the game between themselves and other stars and against music journalists. I remembered the day but for the life of me I couldn't find any photos of the event, that is until I was sent a tweet by a friend.

Exactly. I just know what I don't like. Everything else, I'm willing to hear before I decide.

Quite honestly I haven't got a favourite style of music. I just like what I like. I surprise myself sometimes at what stuff floats my boat.
