George Melly dies aged 80 17 Years, 10 Months ago
He was a bit of a character, and continued to perform until just weeks before his death, despite having slight dementia. My late uncle played trombone alongside George Melly back in his University days. RIP Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I remember once being in Rome at Easter with him on the bus from plane to terminal and his raincoat was trapped in the doors (wrong side) and he couldn't get off! Hilarious - very funny and sweet man. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

saw G.M. and The Feetwarmers in pub when I was a spotty teenage aspiring muso and managed to have a chat after the gig. What an absolute gentleman and a true entertainer. If there is a gig in the afterlife, I'm sure he is on the bill tonight. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Lovely quote in the paper today (Guardian) on George arriving onstage on the wrong side and not being able to find his set list. "Wonderful thing, alzheimers,", he is quoted as saying, "you meet new people every day". Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
