A special live show for New Year’s Day. We listened to music from those who left a legacy behind in 2015 and are now no longer with us. We mainly concentrated on the music. Thanks to Lee for providing some background info and also for personal memories. He had seen both Lemmy and Bryn Merrick. Also to Patrick and Derek with memories of Cilla and Jackie asking to remember Bruce Rowland.
