Celebrating the life of DC Bellamy, our friend.
Ah f--k. DC died.
F--k.
I wrote this on FB.
Meh.
One of the truly great elements of being a muso, and knowing other muso's, is how they come together when things are tough, or sad, or to mourn a loss and to celebrate what we have had together.
I remember DC giving me the side-eye when we had to change into stage clothes in the disabled toilet at a gig in Newcastle, as it was beneath his dignity. I remember returning the side-eye in KC when we were getting changed, once again, in a bathroom.
DC had a heck of a life, beyond the measure of all but the small number of fortunate few. Although maybe not as well known as he deserved, nor as well known as he believed befitting to his talent, DC was an authentic R&B musician, writer, singer and bandleader.
We send our condolences to his family.
