Researching and reporting on the lives of some really interesting people (RIP)

RUSSELL HARDY, aged 80

A jazz musician who formed a band with Ian Dury, he was on the verge of success when he quit to become a successful carpenter – returning to the stage just once.

GEORGE WEISS, aged 81

An eccentric who stood for Parliament on many occasions, befriended celebrities and was a participant at a significant moment in British electoral history.

WEE WILLIE HARRIS, age 90

Britain’s first rock and roller. Diminutive with bright pink hair and an outrageous stage show – but he never had a hit. His backing singer became a major star.
