I heard from Any Turner that Dave Parry died from cancer last week. Dave was the fine melodeon player who performed as a duo with Dave Townsend as The Blades during the nineties. Who could forget the leather-clad half of the two Daves playing unreasonable chords to punk-ish anthems around the clubs and festivals? He was also part of English country music band The Geckoes, player for Rogue Morris, and I daresay a number of other Oxfordshire-based projects I'm unaware of. Also, a good friend!
