gibsonphil Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Anyone remember these bands that gigged a lot in Sheff in the early-mid 80's? They gigged (& partied) a lot with a band I was in called Maison Rouge Was sorry to hear today that singer Tom died a couple of days ago A real nice bloke and a right laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHarper Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hiya Phil, it is such bad news when the people we used to knock about with sadly pass on. I've not seen Tom for umpteen years, but have many fond memories of him and his unique outlook on life. Have you any idea of the arrangements, or a contact number for anyone that might be going to the funeral? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
