back end of the 70s and our first forays into diy music and not caring what people think.

remembering a scrawny lad, wielding what appeared to be a woolies audition, producing memorable melodies of mostly under 3 minutes.

Far too young. Singles Going Steady, played loudly, tonight. RIP.

 

Sad...far too young...RIP.

 

Not sure which little emoticon to click for this so I'll just say RIP Pete

 

My eldest has recently started listening to my old vinyl and was over the moon when I gave him the Buzzcock's Spiral Scratch EP (along with a bunch of other stuff from '76 and '77, like The Adverts, X-Ray Spex, Damned, Chelsea etc.) He's already got his band playing The Buzzcocks '"Boredom".

Sad to hear that Pete as passed on. I'm just glad I was around to enjoy the Buzzcocks at the time and it's nice knowing that I've had the chance to pass on a little bit of that on to my kids.

Thanks for the music, Pete.
