Gutted, one of those I had always meant to get round to seeing live and missed for one reason or another

Ah, the Dekker dictionary. Another reason why I like him: he's one of the few recorded voices that always talks about 'Nincompoops', instantly reminding me of my gran. She used nincompoop as often as I swear.
I'm going to start using that term more again now. The nincompoop revival starts here.
tarannau, you're SUCH a nincompoop.

Such a shame. RIP.
Just goes to show how much we take our musicians for granted. I never saw Desmond Dekker play, but I always assumed our paths would cross at a festival sometime so didn't go out of my way. Same with the Go-Betweens these last few years. Because I'd seen them quite a bit, I didn't bother going to their shows in 2005 and 2004 - I thought "there'll always be another chance to see the Go-Betweens". No longer.
RIP to them all.

I was there too! - Was that the time a girl in the audience managed to get onstage with a handful of harmonicas and then accompanied him through the whole gig? It was excellent and he looked full of beans (although somewhat unable to fill his leather trousers!)
It's a real shame -

I missed the first little bit, but can remember his trousers, he did look thin,, and he wouldn't get off stage,,
I can remember watching him and having an feeling or two(bleary eyes),, you know the sort,, admiration ,,
I thought it was around this time of year, and was hoping the same thing would be happening,,
Sorry to derail the thread, but i'm sure DD wouldnt mind,,,
