Found out my old friend Gus Chambers overdosed and died over the weekend. A great singer/frontman who fronted the Squad after Terry Hall left to join the Specials. He had been singing with Sam my guitar players other band and my x drummer Whippit in Mantrasect whom i saw live the other week. He also drove the Skabillies on the road occasionally, We are all going to miss you mate*

Funny how events like those tend to help you meet up with old friends from long ago.
