The Piranhas John Peel Session 17th July 1979 (TFTLTYTD#17) - RIP Bob Grover

 

It was with sadness that I learned yesterday of the passing of Bob Grover. I never knew the guy, I met him only once, briefly in the bar of The Square in Harlow before his band, The Piranhas, played as part of Atilla The Stockbroker's book launch. The Piranhas were a stalwart of the Brighton music scene.... I believe, although I may be wrong/out of date here, that Brighton & Hove Albion come onto the pitch to the strains of 'Tom Hark'. Well, that's a vast improvement on 'Sussex By The Sea' that I remember from the '70's. 'Space Invaders' was always a favourite of mine... I think it is on Spotify somewhere, buried deep on a compilation.

Here's an old Peel Session they did from back in '79.
