Bob Bertles 85 Australian Saxophonist and Jazz Musician

While Bob joined Max Merritt and the Meteors it was only for a short time

And not to be confused ( as I did ) with Beeb Birtles - guitarist for LRB and who is very much alive

You beat me by a couple of seconds. Like you I thought this was Beeb Birtles from LRB that had died.

Two from the music industry have passed away late in 2024:

Bob Bertles - Australian musician died at age 85.

Johnnie Walker - English DJ with long career from 1965-2024, died at age 79.

**** I put Johnnie walker on the 2025 list , hope I have a sub

Yeah I had Michael slater as a smokey for a while but changed last minute

 

[emuboy]

I forgot a substitute too, but unless the families of Henri Szeps, Col Joye or Richard O'Sullivan delayed announcing their deaths on NYE; or Jim Dale, Wendy Craig or Samantha Eggar died between Xmas and New Year and it is only announced now, I think I'm safe.

I'm also in trouble if the Baker family of England went to visit the elderly and frail Tom for NYE, and found not him but Peter Davison in the room when they entered ...

[ClarkeM]

This game's still going? I reckon we just scrap it so serial_thrilla never gets his badge, thoughts?

[ClarkeM]

We'll give it another day or so and then should be confident we can declare the final tally...

 

[cats_09]

Not sure if anyone had John on their list

Good riddance. Anti-gay rights supporter. Enough said.
