RIP Joey Molland (Badfinger) 17:46 - Mar 2 with 347 viewsTummer_from_Texas

Was the last living member of the band's classic lineup.

POTY 2015
Poll: Biggest signing so far in January? (just curious what Planet Swans thinks)

RIP Joey ...



Just before Joey joined the group, replacing Ron Griffiths - and The Iveys became Badfinger - they recorded "Come And Get It" for Apple in 1969.

WELL ...

Quite a few months ago, after finding out the record had sold over 1,250,000 worldwide - Ron Griffiths finally contacted Garth Teasdale at Apple Corps.

After a lot of research, he contacted Ron, and the estates of Peter, Tom and Mike with the wonderful news that they were to be awarded a gold disc for "Come And Get It" - a delay of over 55 years!!

Well done Ron YJB ...

Everyday above ground ... Is a good day! 😎

Cardiff Arms now long gone was the place to be for local live music .

Adam and Eve was another hotspot , acts scheduled to start as the punters returned to the boozer from The Stadium .

Badfinger , never looked into their Swansea backstory in too much depth though .

Bowie , glam rock and punk , in some small doses , were my music oulets back in the day .

Local lads done good.

Two of the band committed suicide.

Best albums, No dice and straight up.

Tragic history with the deaths and all that. Ripped off throughout, went to Clearwater in Gloucestershire where many bands recorded, countless huge bands a few times, and for a couple of weddings. Steeped in history.

Walked in on the best man at one of them shagging the bride to be ten minutes before she walked down the aisle. Memories 🫣

RIP.
