So, farewell then to Dick Dale. Never has a guitar sounded so menacing.

Another Legend leaves us. RIP DD
Little pop music is as downright enjoyable than a spin through Dick Dale’s 45s of the early 60s. Jasmine put out a wonderful compilation a few years ago – that’s my listening today.
Sorry Theresa et al.
The last time I saw John Peel was at Dick Dale’s mid-90s gig at the Cambridge Junction. Sheila had not long come out of hospital following an aneurysm. Peel was in tears during the whole set.
“We’ll never hear surf music again.”
Oh no that really is a shame. He was someone who did actually deserve the tag “legend” – I was lucky enough to see him playing at the Festival Hall a few years ago as support for the Fall. He was absolutely brilliant and will be sorely missed. One of the very best sets I have ever seen anyone play.
RIP DD
