Haven't posted here for a long time, and a shame it has to be for such a sad reason, but for anyone familiar with the Australian band The Sports, their keyboard player Jim Niven passed away at 10am yesterday (9th April) as a result of cancer; The Sports toured the UK with EC in the 80's. I was fortunate enough to have been able to call Jim a friend and had the pleasure of playing with him a few times in makeshift bands here in Sydney. He will be missed.

Like me, the "g" is silent.
