Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Sounds like he’d had a real tough time for the last ten years or so. Wretched way to go. RIP Eddie

Very sad.

Not prog rock, but sadly Johnny Nash has also passed away.

A good piece on Johnny Nash here. I must admit, I knew little of him apart from The Song, so there were a few surprises. Starting with him being a native of Houston, Texas.

The single which preceded "I Can See Clearly Now".

His version of Bob Marley’s Stir it up is great. He was a friend and early supporter of BMW

Learned from the best when he moved to Jamaica. I loved his interpretation of songs.

As I posted on the SSS thread I hadn’t grasped what a splendid voice he had. Like all the good singers he made it sound so easy
