It was with a sense of great sadness that we read last week of the death of Section 25 vocalist and leader Larry Cassidy.

I can say that Larry was the only popstar (in my world) that I have ever written a fan letter to. Thinking of that letter now-it was a hotch potch scrawl of early 20 something ramblings, hardly worthy of the gracious reply that Larry sent.

RIP Larry. Section 25 were a great band, and "The Beast" always a classic. Read John Robb's great tribute here:
