Kate McGarrigle

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2010/01/19/mcgarrigle-kate-obit.html

Canadian folk and roots music singer Kate McGarrigle, best known for her work with her sister, Anna, as the McGarrigle Sisters, has died at age 63.

McGarrigle, born in Montreal, died Monday night after battling a rare form of cancer, confirmed her brother-in-law, journalist Dane Lanken.

The mother of musicians Rufus and Martha Wainwright through her previous marriage with American singer-songwriter Loudon Wainwright III, McGarrigle is a music industry icon in her own right.

That's sad news and a huge loss.  He was the voice of rugby for me and was so knowledgeable passionate about the game and fair minded.   A real legend.

Sad to hear that.
The McGarrigle Sisters also worked on the Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds album, No More Shall We Part.
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side.

I've heard that phrase about a dozen times today - it's not the most imaginative nickname is it?

sad news about Kate McGarrigle though - that's some talented genes there.

I never liked the Scorpions much until I saw them live. I saw them support Judas Priest a few years back and didn't expect them to be any good and they rocked! They were actually better than the rather disappointing Judas Priest.

They'll be back in a few years for a reunion tour just like everyone else.

I remember that bubble gum boobie cover was rather controversial when I was at school. Ah, innocent days!

This could just be a clever way of getting publicity for a new album and tour - as Albion says, there's always the option of reunions down the line. How many "final tours" did Quo have?

John Berry, Ladybird book artist. In those days they were called 'commercial artists'. I always thought there was something humble about that.
