RIP John Givens. Such sad news. All who encountered him know that Givo really was a special one. Thoughts with his family and friends.

The sad news of the death of @sacrebleuband's lead singer, Ak Kennedy was confirmed today.

Contemporaries of
@U2, the band released two singles and looked destined for bigger things – but split in 1980, leaving mountains of potential behind.

Cool long-haired musician Ak Kennedy has gone off grid. His friends are concerned. If you’re in Dublin, or Ireland, please keep a look-out for him. He may look a bit shook. Let’s find Ak, please Here’s a pic from when we met pre-pandemic #AkKennedy

The great Paddy Murray was never at a loss for words but I am today, except to say that it was a total joy working with him on the wireless back in the day. My deepest sympathies to his beloved Connie and Charlotte.

Didn’t expect ⁦@liammackey1⁩ article to feature the auld lads horse.....hope Liam won’t mind me saying that the fact he refers to the filly as a “he” throughout probably sums up his relationship with the sport!
