Lovely Danny Kelly has died. I'll never forget some of his extraordinary tales whether it was his time working for British Railways or when he somehow carried a television & car battery into a gig at Charlton to watch a football match on TV. Such a talented man. Love to Alex.

Harsh… but a cracking gag!
In 1986, Kate Bush released her single "Experiment IV", a song about a secret plan to design a sound that could kill someone.
It isn't known what inspired Bush to write this track, but many speculate that she penned it after being introduced to Cilla Black at a charity event.
