Profoundly sad to hear of the passing of #PatJeffers
Anyone at Sandbach School in the 60s 70s & 80s will remember him as a driving force in music, both in school and #Sandbach community

Also a huge supporter of my early music & my path in life

Thank you Pat

Very sad that #TomRobbins has passed.

I read him non-stop in the 90s - he was a one-off and his work crackled and fizzed with personality and the love of life.

("Even Cowgirls Get The Blues" especially
lingers)

RIP Tom ❤️

Now playing @lowtheband.bsky.social
'Christmas'.

Tinged with a profound sadness since Mimi's passing but sheesh what a beautiful legacy she left for the season..
& her version of 'Blue Christmas' is unequalled.

What an album - timeless & divine.

Remembering Mimi
Love to Alan ❤️

Happy #WinterSolstice one and all

Love and light 🌞

'This is the solstice,
the still point of the sun,
its cusp and midnight,
the year’s threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of
and becomes the future'
