    Oh no - I was at college in Manchester 1987-1992 & was deeply into that music scene, saw the Inspiral Carpets many times & used to see Gilly in all the pubs and clubs & especially the record shops - he was so young. We are getting old....

    Was he really 12 years old when he started drumming with the band?

    RIP, far too young

    I was looking at some of the IC's stuff on Youtube the other night, there is a clip of them doing Saturn 5 on The Word that is the absolute business.

    When I'm putting together a playlist for driving or work etc., they're the first to go on it

    That's really sad. Their Peel Sessions EP is an absolute classic. I'm going to put it on now and get all morose.

    Friday's people's history of pop on BBC4 had a short interview with Craig, where he shows the poster that gave Oasis their name

    He looks really well and happy in the clip to, which makes it all the more sad.
