George Melly, jazz singer, writer and art historian has passed away aged 80. A great all- round entertainer with a liking for singing blues in the Bessie Smith style, his loud and colourful singing style matched the loud and colourful jackets I first saw him perform when getting into jazz in the late '50s. RIP George. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6272552.stm Llew

My System: Motorised dish, dvd players and recorders; a freeview box, broadband, VCRs, four TVs, mobiles, pcs, a mac, Ipod, digital cameras...the lot! | My bruv liked him. A sad loss, one of the last remaining true eccentrics in the Liberace mode.

Blog Entries: 3 My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum. | Didn't particularly like his jazz, but no doubt that he was an outstanding personality in the second half of the 20th century, a sad loss but great memory.
