BigAl Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Dan McCafferty ffs Lead singer of great Scottish band Nazareth Famous for his gravelly voice. Holds great memories of listening to Nazareth as a thirteen year old with my first serious girlfriend and as he sung back in the day, Love Hurts Halcyon days indeed RIP Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a non celebrity basis I am in bits to learn today ov the death of an ex colleague of mine at a ridiculous age of only 43. I have been to four funerals in the past six weeks.

Thanks min, you're right we're at an age where deaths of those close to us and those we know is becoming more and more common. Against that I've got a new great nephew, so the circle of life keeps on turning. It's been a shit run to be honest and I was feeling really down about things the other night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
