This is one of the saddest pieces of news I've heard in recent times.  Ross Hannaford formerly of Daddy Cool, Billy-T, Paul Madigan and the Humans etc etc, has passed away after losing his battle with cancer - he was 65.  A truly lovely person and a brilliant musician.

A gig i cut for Ross Hannaford

In '92

In the late 70's I used to go regularly to the Tiger Room (at the Royal Oak Hotel in Bridge Street Richmond) to watch Paul Madigan and the Humans playing... the band comprised Paul Madigan with Ross Hannaford, Wayne Duncan and Freddie Strauks.  They were hilarious and it was worth going just to watch Madigan baiting the boiler suited feminist brigade of the time.  Ross Hannaford would play the entire show with a look of genuine amusement on his face from go to woe.

I was privileged to go the benefit concert they had for him at Memo in StKilda towards the back end of last year. The room was awash with "orange" being his color of choice during his later years.

Lots of muso's came out to support him and the outpouring of love for the man that night was palpable.

He played a couple of songs and as frail as he was, his guitar work was magic.

RIP Hanna...another great one gone too early

I'm pretty certain Ross was a follower of the Rajnish faith (otherwise known as the orange people) back in the day... possibly around the time he had the band Billy-T going.  I might be wrong, but that's how I remember things.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
