I wrote a piece on the late, great Dave Ball for @thequietus.com

'#SoftCell bandmate, Marc Almond, said: "Thank you Dave for being an immense part of my life and for the music you gave me. I wouldn’t be where I am without you.”'

R.I.P. Dave Ball

I'm sorry about lack of activity here, at first I didn't have enough time to work on project, then I was hit with mental exhaustion and health issues, and now I'm having technical difficulties to maintain the wiki proper.

And #onthisday in #softcellhistory.
Wishing a very happy birthday to the one and only Dave Ball! 🎹⚡

One year since Regis and I hosted A Some Bizzare Evening at Centrala in Birmingham. A weird, wonderful and chaotic affair that saw the first public screening of Soft Cell’s Sex Dwarf video since 1982. Stevo was his usual baffling, frustrating, and very funny self and a good night was had by all.
