Enjoy your coverage Far Out Magazine but wish your new piece about the old story of andygillmusic & the Chilis did more than rehash a version those involved distanced themselves from and that the notebook I found after Andy died shows in a different light catherinemayer.co.uk/post/history-i…

Gang of Four - ‘Is It Love’

Written and sung by Andy, ‘Is It Love’ was the lead single from Gang Of Four ‘s 4th studio album, Hard, released in 1983.

Happy Valentines Day !

Andy Gill. 1st Jan 1956 - 1st February 2020.

Video taken from the now legendary Gang of Four performance on BBC 2 TV show ‘The Old Grey Whistle Test’, in 1981. It was hosted by DJ Annie Nightingale, who also sadly left us a few weeks ago.

How many people hear from their #lovelydead ? When andygillmusic died, he was in a coma; no chance to say goodbye. Then The Times and The Sunday Times reminded me they’d interviewed us for their Relative Values column. I will always be lucky to have known such love thetimes.co.uk/article/4f5213…

You say #HappyNewYear . I say #HappyBirthday to andygillmusic

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to Andy.

Man vs Beast. Andy’s life outside of music was just as eventful as you might imagine. He sometimes talked about the merits of getting a dog..

Happy Now…..not really.

Andy wasn’t a big fan of Christmas but we’re sending you all seasons greetings.

Thanks for tuning in, in 2023. We’ll be back with more from Andy’s extensive archive and tales from behind the scenes in 2024.

I'll be on BBC One #Newscast tonight, probably saying something about loss, grief, anger, the nonsense of 'moving on', #partygate , the #covidinquiry , Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK, saving lives by learning from preventable deaths. And about love. Always about love. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

On this date 2 years ago we released #TheProblemofLeisure : A celebration of andygillmusic & Gang Of Four. Andy was working on the album up to his death. I & others including many famous musicians finished it with love. Give it a play for him today andygillmusic.com/the-problem-of…

I still can’t listen to this without crying but I’ve been listening anyway because it’s so beautiful… Gang Of Four singer JJ Sterry wrote this about andygillmusic. So rare to hear a song this loving about male friendship open.spotify.com/track/2ztoFSyA…

It was a pleasure to meet Catherine Catherine Mayer and Jonathan Jonathan Healey at their fascinating talk The Bath Festival about the monarchy yesterday.
Also to reminisce about working Real World Studios with Andy Gill Gang Of Four & danny saber on a Michael Hutchence album.

' #GangOfFour set out to be not difficult, not hard to understand. If it had clever ideas & if there were interesting new ideas they wouldn't be rammed down your throat, they would be accessible. Because it sounds simple doesn't mean it's easy to do' #AndyGill
Solid gang.
