PeckhamRose Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 That is so sad! In about 1990 I went to an XTC convention in Manchester and the organiser knew him and got him to do a gig for us. He played some XTC and his rendition of We're Only Making Plans for Little Nigel was one of the funniest things I have ever heard.
