RIP Chris Rea

We lost not only the great musician but also a car enthusiast. I just reloaded an old CD "La Passione" by him, Shirley Bassey, and Gavin Wrights Film Orchestra... a nice story and glorious music from the film (which never was completed, AFAIK) by that title. Moving.
(pls forgive me this off topic post)

Agree - a real talented song writer and musician. Also a great down to earth guy who never lost his Geordie accent and humour.

Smoggie Accent ;-)

He was on Gone Fishing a few years back. I thought at the time he didn’t look well.

The story about Chris Rea, told by Bob Mortimer, about the egg in the bath on would I lie to you, is worth watching. Gone Fishing Christmas special on tonight.
