I hope you will already have heard the sad news of another death – John Izod. I wanted to say how glad I am that you made that film about John and his acting career. It captures him really well and the shots of him in Rye are great. I am sure it will be enjoyed by many of his friends as well.
I love you paul lawford (ex rubbish)
It’s late – I looked for Sebastian, I looked for you, he is dead, you are MIA, and I hope you’re that way to your eternal happiness – then I found you’re secretly still with us via WordPress blog – ingenious
Miss you terribly – but i would flee in a moment if I could – so fair play to you –
You are a gem and a wonderful memory –
Hope you’ve found some peace –
And I treasure your parting Dalis car picture disc –
Me and me old mate Jay were talking this morning, walking around old bands, old sounds and old memories – Japan came up, as it often does, then I mentioned Dalis Car to him, which lead to a rifling of the vinyl collection. How wonderful a life when you are a part of a creation that, even 33 years after it was released, can spark a conversation in a small kitchen in Buckinghamshire?
A friend of mine pointed out “i guess Mick [Karn] needed a hunky drummer to move” … and so I thought that you and Steve [Jansen] maybe should consider making an album called “Hunky ‘n Funky” or “Hunk Funk” … Any thoughts? 🙂
Your fresh beats made it all the way to Houston and saved many a lost souls evoking escape routes to those that were ecking out lives around clubs libraries make shift skateboard scenes – your rhythms also saved our very late grasp of japan – in other words without your drumming the wave phenomenon of japan/bauhaus would have dispersed attenuated disappeared as your contribution to that wave also made it the soliton it has become – seems to disappear refract bounce off odd walls of anisotropy but somehow comes back together and yet as all shall pass all shall become whole again to the mother wavelet.
Troy, I am moved by your eloquence, thank you so much. My soul is lifted by your love of the music. It was for me a deep experience. Mick, Pete & I had all hit rock bottom together, we bonded then we made it individually to the surface. Xx
Do you remember a Spring Awakening? I killed myself, which seems harsh, reflecting on it, I must have been a ball of weird closeted energy, Spain sounds preferable, well done.
How marvelous to hear from you Gareth, and alive to boot. I do remember your extraordinary energy, and great gallows humour. It was an intense and cathartic experience I thought. It has bonded us all for life hasn’t it. The Pandemic is slightly more enjoyable in warmer climes. Px

Thank you very much indeed, I am delighted and very moved. I went to Mick’s funeral, it was terribly sad. The music lives on, so you’re right. Thanks.
