SOGran That’s a good idea for a forum, I’ve noticed that In Memorium posts are found in various places, e.g. Chat, Culture/Arts, News. I think that’s why they are sometimes missed.
Although tbh, I didn’t expect many posts on this thread. I’m in Dundee however where The Associates are still much talked about and missed by anyone even slightly into music. Billy MacKenzie, the lead singer, came from a well known, if slightly eccentric Dundee family. He killed himself back in 1997, he was only 39.
Behind our major shopping mall, there’s an ongoing wonderful tribute to musicians in/from Dundee. It consists of engraved slabs set into the ground. It brings back lots of happy memories from my “going out” days. Or should I say nights rather. Dundee has always had a popular live music scene, it was always easy to find a pub with some great music.
