THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Not Getting any better is it! Associates multi-instrumentalist Alan Rankine has died at the stupidly young age only 64.

Sulk is an absolutely astonishing album. It's outstanding. I play it quite regularly even to this day. Someone I know plays sax on it, and when I visited her back in the early 80's in Dundee she took me to watch them rehearse, so I must've met him, but obviously the only one I can remember is Billy Mackenzie., and the bass player, who was out of this world. Funny the things you remember.

I shall be playing Sulk in his honor tonight.

RIP.

Always loved Michael Dempsey's great bass playing - so melodic & tuneful:
