That's a nice read, Sean (and Marina) did a lot of good work helping keep interest in Cardiacs going when the rest of the universe cared not one tiny bit.

I think that's a different Sean (not Sean Organ) btw. I hope this means there's still at least one good book in the works.

It seems that Tim Quy has actually left our world, very sad. RIP

That's really sad to hear, I'd heard he was in poor health. They were never as good once he left if you ask me.

Listening to Sing to God right now, my best attempt at a description is "What if Nomeansno tried to be early Genesis?"

Beyond the often quoted 'Salvation Army band playing carousel punk in a force ten gale' type of thing, there are a multitude of influences that suffused Tim's style - prog and ROI, new wave, traditional British and early music composers, twelve-tone music, and so on.

amazing! who's in the band??
― frogbs, Friday, 3 May 2024 21:59 (one week ago) link
Bic, Jim, Baba, Jon, Jo but not sure about the rest, they had additional perc, sax and keys. Also, Mark Cawthra sang occasionally and maybe Tiny from Ultrasound.

Hearing 'Anything I Can't Eat' really brought it all back to me, seeing those HB&EB songs played live, they always sounded so brilliant, loads better than the recorded counterparts (apart from March and Helen & Heaven)

I'm there tomorrow. The excitement's unreal

Oh! It was Craig Fortnam on percussion I didn't recognise him, Chloe Herington on sax and Adrien Rodes on keys
