Taken the day off Monday for Annie's funeral, no word on when Geoff's is yet. Really feel for their son, not had his Mum's funeral and has to start organising his Dad's. He’s not much younger than me but that’s still a big kick in the balls
That tribute to Geoff is a bit wrong though, the Liverpool Scene wasn’t totally reliant on Geoff (and Annie), if you were to pick one name it would be Roger Eagle, who ran The Stadium, then Eric's, was a good mate of Geoff's and helped them set up Probe. Eagle was really the kingpin and I suppose in his own way, so was Bill Drummond eventually a bit later.
As people may know, Probe is an important part of my life and even my social scene. It’s a place that has bound many of us together for decades and both Geoff and Annie's passing has hit a lot of us, it’s just a little bit unreal
They will both be missed
I'm expecting my mate Doreen to be next as word isn’t good, another key player in that scene. Worked in Eric’s, managed Dead or Alive, ran the FGTH fan club owned Planet X
Just sad times
