The blues/rock harmonica player and singer has passed away. Much troubled denizen of the pub rock and punk scene of the seventies and eighties. RIP Lew.

    Enjoyed his playing. Sad loss.

    But what I didn’t know was that he robbed a post office!

    From Wikipedia;  

    In 1987 Lewis was given a seven-year jail sentence for armed robbery, after holding up a post office with a fake pistol, stealing £5,000 and trying to escape on a shopping bike.[3]

    He tried to escape on a shopping bike?! which i presume is something like a shopping trolley?
