    Barry Ryan (72)

    Him, his twin brother Paul, also deceased and mother Marion were all singers and lived in the same street as our family before fame took them to better pastures.

    We thought the boys a bit posh because they went to boarding school unlike us scruffy urchins.


    RIP lad.

  • Eloise was (is) one of my favourite songs, sad news.
    RIP Barry.

  • Are you sure he was 72? That means when he had his first hits with Paul he would have been about 15.

  • I had one of those rolling machines, they're ace when you figure out how to use them.

  • You rolled joints in a nightclub? Lucky you weren't kicked out :))

  • I had my rollie machine just a couple of years back, they had them (and filters) in Poundland.

    One of my guilty pleasures when I'm offshore and out of sight of the missus is a wee smoke, not that I'm away often.

    Not a celeb. but James Brokenshire MP has died from cancer at 53. He had to leave his job as NI Secretary, because of his health, a few years ago, and I hadn't heard a lot about how he was doing. Sad to hear of his passing.
