The legend that was Roy Evans.  The actor Tony Caunter was a familiar face on TV for many years.  He was in one of my Mum’s favourite series of the seventies, Beryl’s Lot, you have to be old to remember that one!

I refer the honourable gentleman to my previous statement.

Very sad so soon after his wife too .

 

A great character in his time .

 

RIP Tony /Roy

Apparently his wife had died only a few months earlier leaving behind a son .

Really tragic and poor kid .

Yes his wife was Angie Stone, creator of this stone cold classic

Dave Ball (66), one half of Soft Cell 

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/oct/23/dave-ball-hitmaker-as-one-half-of-soft-cell-dies-aged-66:(

 

As flamboyant frontman, Marc Almond was much better known, but Ball's music was a big part of what they had to offer.

 

1980s music is seriously misremembered as just cliched, New Romantic stuff done by electro-pop acts with big hair - much of which was shite. There was a lot of other stuff, too.

Soft Cell did arrive with the New Romantic wave as an electro-pop act with exotic appearance and catchy songs - but were one of the seriously good acts.

 

Their hits, like Tainted Love, Bedsitter & Say Hello, Wave Goodbye are well-known, but they did some great dance mixes, like their cover of Where Did Our Love Go as a medley with Tainted Love, plus the Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing album. Best of all, though, IMHO was the next, less successful album The Art of Falling Apart.....seriously dark stuff and an outstanding, much under-rated album.

 

They were performing again recently, weren't they - including in Victoria Park a year or two back?

Tainted Love takes me back to being a kid, when I'd sit in my room listening to the top 20 on my local radio station. Still one of my favourites to this day.

The 12" of Tainted Love (which merges into Where Did Our Love Go) is one of my favourite 12" singles. That said, I prefer the Gloria Jones original of that song.

Prunella Scales, 93.

My dad first introduced me to Fawlty Towers as a kid and I can recite most of it word for word - one of the best series ever made IMO. She played the foil to Basil so well, an incredible innings for her!
