C.J. Sansom, the Scottish author of the psychologically complex mystery novels about Matthew Shardlake, a hunchbacked lawyer turned investigator navigating political intrigue during the Tudor era has passed aged 71 from multiple myeloma.

He died a few days before part 1 of the first book Dissolution under the title Shardlake is premiered on Disney+ on Wednesday 1st May

As a Shardlake fan it will be interesting to see how the dramatisation pans out.

R.I.P Chris, your many fans & the literary world will surely miss you.

Very sad to see that Richard Tandy has died. He was 76.

He'd worked with Jeff Lynne for around 50 years, though with a break when the original ELO split up. He's maybe best remembered for his contribution on Mr Blue Sky but in truth he was Lynne's right hand man.

Apparently he joined ELO when Roy Wood left. How about that for a memory, Roy Wood, jeez.

R.I.P Richard.

He must have played with them when I saw them years ago and I never knew.

As for Roy Wood, my main memory from ELO was Bev Bevan as I had a mate who had a crush on him. He left after a fall out with Jeff Lynne & I guess you don't stay if you do that.

Jeepers, I think I'm catching up to Tony even faster now!

Pretty sure Bev Bevan was part of "The Move". And Roy Wood became Wizard, & had a huge Christmas hit every year. Oh I wish it could be Christmas every day, tra la la-la la la la. He must have made a fortune out of that song.

Bev fell out with Jeff, Bev formed "ELO Part II", while Lynne formed "Jeff Lynne's ELO". Bet there were lawsuits galore.
