Ever since that day
This month, it's ten years since The Associates' Billy McKenzie took his own life. As a tribute and celebration of his work, there's to be a special gig at the Shepherds Bush Empire on Wednesday 28th March - the day after he would have been fifty.
Amongst the highlights is the first-ever live appearance of British Electric Foundation with their music of quality and distinction; Electric Soft Parade; Subterraneans, featuring a guest appearance from Paul Haig. Haig's not been on stage since 1989, which makes it even more than a rare appearance by the Josef K man. More acts to follow; tickets out now; all profits going to a charity, Sound Seekers, which works with deaf children in the developing nations.

You might be interested to know that Apollo 440 and Mower have also joined the bill for this event. Billy's last ever vocal recording was for Apollo 440's 2nd album, Electro Glide in Blue.
It would be nice if people could spell the wee guy's name right. It's Billy MAcKenzie.
