As I was today doing my homework, the monthly skim through Unshod/Boho, I discovered a further, unheralded at least in England, untimely death, that of Shooglenifty front hurricane, Angus Grant, who quietly died last month “after a short illness”. Yes, Bro’ Cancer strikes again. Probably explains their non-appearance at Shrewsbury this summer. As this obit shows, he was quite a fella. Some malt will be belatedly supped the night.

Hadn’t heard that, bad news. The first couple of Shooglenifty albums still get a semi regular spin at Dynamite Towers.
“Shooglenifty” is clearly something you two just made up for a giggle, but in real life, this week saw the untimely demise of “Trapped” hitmaker Colonel Abrams: https://www.eurweb.com/2016/11/colonel-abrams-80s-soul-music-artist-homeless-ill-passes-67/
Homeless, and probably dead, because he couldn’t afford to pay for his medical treatment.
He should have moved to Cuba.
Saw Shooglenifty many times over the years, a fantastic band…
