Sad news tonight.
A lot of people are mourning the unexpected death of Lemmy from Motörhead - an aggressive cancer discovered only a few days ago.
Also passing today is Andy Stewart of Scottish Folk band Silly Wizard - from Glasgow, Scotland's The Herald:
Tributes paid to Silly Wizard folk legend Andy M Stewart
Andy M Stewart, the singer and songwriter whose deep understanding of the Scottish tradition played a huge part in the success of trail-blazing folk group Silly Wizard, has died after a long illness.
Born in Alyth, near Blairgowrie in Perthshire, Stewart emerged as a passionate singer and upholder of traditional songs as a teenager when he formed the group Puddock’s Well with singer, songwriter and fiddle Dougie Maclean and bassist Martin Hadden.
Invited in the mid-1970s to join Silly Wizard, who needed a Scottish singer to lend weight to their fiery instrumental sound, Stewart became known across Europe and particularly in the US with the band as an authoritative singer and an entertaining raconteur.
