I'd mention his band name, but it would probably be censored.

 

Love his music.

Buzzcocks. Nope, not censored. A great band and a great singer.

And, as we heard on the main BBC News this evening (which goes to show which generation is running the BBC News these days...) they also more or less invented "Indy" records and made Manchester the music powerhouse it's been for the last 40 years: everyone from Joy Division to Oasis owes them a debt...

RIP, Pete, from me and everyone else who has ever fallen in love with some they shouldn't have fallen in love with...

best,

M.

"Ever fallen in love (with someone)" is a great song. Timeless!

Is theirs the same version that was used on the soundtrack to Shrek 2?

Lettuce knot forget this classic from  his solo career :
