Iain Banks, author,born in Dunfermline,taken much too young at 59 years only two weeks after announcing he had terminal cancer.

When asked to list his favourite music for EMI's Personal Effects - a music compilation where they asked cultural icons to list their favourite music - For Michael Collins, Jeffrey and Me was in the mix.

Rest In Peace

smint100: Good Lord, why did no one tell me about the radio.net! I've spent a joyful afternoon in the garden watching the strawberries ripen - I mean, editing a book - and listening to unadulterated Tull. Heaven!

ash: Is anyone aware of a recent statement from Ian saying he doesn't have COPD and it's only asthma? Just asking

Jun 1, 2022 9:21:29 GMT

rredmond: I thought it was both? Jun 4, 2022 19:34:53 GMT

ash: One can be mistaken for the other because of similar symptoms but COPD is the nasty one! I'm talking an updated statement from Ian early this year. Jun 5, 2022 9:16:48 GMT *

nonrabbit: Sounds joyous smint100 - all round!

marshall: Hello, I was at the concert at De Montfort Hall in September along with a number of other shows. I try to get to as many as possible in the UK. Jun 21, 2022 9:54:11 GMT

jackinthegreen: Thank-you marshall

I travelled down from Scotland for the Marillion Weekend there, great venue isn't it! It was standing downstairs, I guess the Tull gig was all seated....did they sell out? Please join in on the forum threads! Cheers

marshall: I live in Cumbria and I had booked for the Glasgow show which was,of course, cancelled. Jun 23, 2022 12:39:45 GMT

marshall: No need to thank me by the way. I was a member of this Forum some year's ago but I forgot my log in details. I will do my best to contribute. I have been a Full can since the early singles and I have some fabulous memories as well as tales to tell. Jun 23, 2022 12:43:14 GMT

jackinthegreen: In that case welcome back marshall. I am a Full can too....if that's rhyming slang for Tull fan

Jun 24, 2022 20:23:29 GMT

jackinthegreen: I think you may have been neilstcleve

steelmonkey: My new. secret, self identity: Full Can. California Cockney rhyming slang? Why not? Jun 27, 2022 1:50:44 GMT

ash: "California Cockney rhyming slang? Why not?" Many reasons if your family has Cockney routes

steelmonkey: People my age learned of it and some of it from 'A Clockwork Orange', way back when. Jul 4, 2022 2:05:35 GMT

steelmonkey: And I was taught that Tull members and crew called us civilian fans 'Billies' for Billy Bunter = Punter. Jul 4, 2022 2:06:56 GMT

ash: My granddad would use Cockney rhyming slang now and then, more so if he was having a Darby. I will let him off seeing as he was born about half a mile from St Mary-le-Bow church.
