    Sad news. One of my schoolmates became friends with the band when they were emerging, Mike and the rest of them were really good to him. RIP

    No words today. Mike was inspirational and a lovely human. Saw Alarm so many times. First time at Cellar Bar Thames Poly in 1983. RIP. The 68 guns will never die

    That's sad. RIP. Saw them just before their breakthrough in the cellar bar of Thames Poly Woolwich.  Did an acoustic set and not many punters. Was really good.

    My first ever gig. Tunbridge Wells Assembly Hall. I only went because my sister was a fan, but it opened my eyes and ears to the power of live music.  
    RIP
