Just the second sentence would have been enough to make that particular point.

But no, you had to drag down this thread didn't you?

I am very close to contacting Asa.


Grow up, Simon.

What possible reason could you have for running to the forum admin? Your "low-point" comments are indefensible.

If you make me want to box your ears then I shall tell you so.

Gavin, you are entitled to think what you like about me and the posts I make here. Where you continually cross the line, however, is that you have to turn anything you don't agree with back to being about me, and whatever good points you make get lost in your game of "let's make him look a fool".

You keep on about how you're a "mature cat" and accuse me of being "bilious", and while I acknowledge the justification for the latter on occasions I put it to you that you are as bilious, if not more so, towards me and certain others on this board. If you think my opinions are "low point" there are ways to respond to them without resorting to sustained character assasination.

In answer to my original point, the popularity of Reach was not in question but my point was that Mr Hazlehurst's involvement with such expendable, plastic pop would come as a surprise to those who admired the work for which he was better known.

Of course, this is all rather dependent on whether Ronnie actually did have a hand in writing "Reach" and it looks like he didn't (the writing credit is C Dennis / A Todd). It's just about possible that there was some kind of copyright issue that led to him getting royalties, but even that seems doubtful.

Well BBC News have stated that he co-wrote it on the news tonight.

Heard this on the news earlier; what a shame. Talented musician and no doubt a theme tune legend. The idea behind the Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em tune was quite genius -- may his works be long remembered.

That's interesting... it was removed from Wikipedia as a long-standing hoax a few hours ago.

There were some low points in his career, however. Namely his co-composition of S Club 7's "Reach".


That's a great song! Rolling Eyes

(not that it seems he did have anything to do with it!)

It's not uncommon for composers to write under pseudonyms. Hank Marvin has apparently made several contributions to the production music world but few have been under his better-known name. James Aldenham (ITV Schools) was Brian Bennett.

When's the funeral?

I need to know who's arranging it.

A really sad loss. I can remember thinking he was probably still in his 50s, didn't realise he was that old!
