Frank Bangay of Survivors' Poetry. I heard him a couple of times more than ten years ago, including as part of a Survivors evening, and he was extraordinary and quite unlike any other performer I've ever seen. RIP.

Would have thought more than just Charles would have popped in today...

Putting a pillow over Phil's head gets Chuck nowhere - he'll wait til his ma's ill for that one.

That's a bummer. I've been digging the Fat Boys recently. They were the best in Krush Groove, and Disorderlies is hilarious.

Hannu Mikola, cancer at 78.

Johnny Briggs. 85 and member of the Corrie cast for 30 years. His most famous storyline was a love triangle of which the most remarkable thing was that it was with Deidre Barlow!!

Glenn Roeder, 65, former football manager of West Ham and Newcastle, amongst others.

Really saddened by this. I saw him make his debut for Leyton Orient back when he was 16, and he was a class above everyone else. Really nice guy too. RIP Glenn.

18 year battle with brain tumour must have been really tough, I always had you down as one of the good guys in football. RIP Glenn Roeder
