Crikey. Interviewing in two languages and translating simultaneously. World class by @alexaljoe

I wanted to message or call him today to tell him about the latest developments, which are significant. I couldn't, though. He's not with us any more. Such a shame. He was brilliant. When he died I wrote this for the Sindy. independent.co.uk/life-style…

Goodnight #HerbieFlowers and thank you for so much great music. Here is the bass that played the riff to Walk on the Wild Side and which he played one memorable afternoon together at his home in Ditchling a decade ago. A truly lovely man.
