Dave Luck… Very talented musician and composer. R.I.P

Jim Breeds… A bit like when I just heard that Marguerite Patten has died I’d have to say I had no idea he was still alive. I still have Dad’s James Last LPs.

Alan Esdaile… When I was very young, I think most parties would put on a James Last album. He did some very odd tracks, I think Matt Thomas remembers him doing a version of Hawkwind’s Silver Machine!

Jim Breeds… Goodness me! I had no idea!

Alan Esdaile… Very bizarre.

Graham Burfield… R.I.P. James Last

Matt Thomas… I would so love to get the James Last album my dad used to play endlessly,think it was called Non Stop Dancing 72 or 73!!!!!! That had Silver Machine and Schools Out on it lo.

Dave Luck… I think probably his best concert he did in 1978, live in London.

Paul Kilford…. noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

Mark Edir… Historic man
