Tributes paid as Still Game 'Eric' star Jimmy Martin passes away

 

He was not on the list.

Tributes have been paid to the actor James Martin following his death at the age of 93. 

James – more affectionately known as Jimmy- played the character ‘Auld Eric’ in the long-running Scottish sitcom. 

One of the few actual pensioners in the cast, he had appeared in numerous other television programmes before joining the show. 

Still Game director Michael Hines broke the news to fans on social media, posting a picture of the actor with the tribute: "Just to let all the Still Game fans out there that Jimmy Martin ‘Eric’ passed away today.

"He was a wonderful actor and I was honoured to call him pal."

Fans of the show left comments to honouring a man they described as an "absolute legend".

One wrote: "Met him on a couple of occasions, absolute gentleman."

Mr Martin bowed out of the hit BBC Scotland comedy series in 2018. The Glasgow-born actor, had been part of the cast since the show began in 2002.

His departure coincided with the arrival of funeral director Iain Duncan Sheathing whose appearance had struck fear into the heart of the Craiglang community.

Eric became the first customer – or victim – for the creepy new undertaker, played by comedian Bruce Morton.

Mr Martin had revealed that he approached Still Game co-creators Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill about leaving when the duo started writing the eighth.

"I asked to be written out," he said, adding that his wife Christine had convinced him it was time to take things a bit easier in life.

"She said: 'C'mon, let's call it a day.' I've been an actor since the late 1960s. I have done everything."

Jamie Muir obit

King Crimson percussionist Jamie Muir has died aged 82

 Jamie Muir, who featured on King Crimson's Lark's Tongues In Aspic before leaving to become a Buddhist monk, has died

He was not on the list.

King Crimson percussionist Jamie Muir, who famously left the band to become a Buddhist monk in 1973, has died, aged 82.

Former Crimson drummer Bill Bruford announced Muir's passing on his own Facebook page, paying tribute to his former colleague. "Jamie Muir died today 17.02.2025 in Cornwall, UK, with his brother George by his side.

"Jamie was the drummer/percussionist with whom I worked on the King Crimson album Larks’ Tongues in Aspic (1973). He had a volcanic effect on me, professionally and personally, in the brief time we were together many years ago – an effect which I still remember half a century later. I’m sorry we lost touch, but his departure from our working relationship was so sudden and unexpected, I sort of assumed he didn’t want anything more to do with me and my colleagues in King Crimson!

"He was a lovely, artistic man, childlike in his gentleness. There was probably a dark side underneath. It could be glimpsed as he climbed the PA stacks in a wolf’s fur jacket, blood (from a capsule) pouring from his mouth, on a rainy Thursday night in Preston, Lancs., to hurl chains across the stage at his drumkit. One of these Robert Fripp will tell you, only narrowly missed him.

"His conversations with Jon Anderson at my 1973 wedding party, in Jon’s words, ‘changed my life' [when asked what made him perform the way he did, Muir suggested the Yes singer read Paramahansa Yogananda's Autobiography Of A Yogi].

"Jamie also changed mine. I consider it a privilege to have known, and benefitted from the company of, a man of such quiet power, even briefly. He struck me as one of those about whom one might truthfully say he was a beautiful human being. He will be much missed. Goodbye, Jamie."

Born in Edinburgh in November 1942, Muir would attend that city's College Of Art in the 60s. Early on he was intrigued with jazz music. An early stint on the trombone gave way to drumming and he looked to the likes of Tony Williams and Pharoah Sanders for inspiration, as well as the opportunities of improvisation, of which he said, "The first time it felt really dangerous, like the sort of thing you had to lock the doors and close the curtains on because if anybody saw you, God would strike you down with a thunderbolt. But I took to it like a duck to water."

Having moved to London, Muir worked with choreographer Lindsay Kemp and played music with the free-jazz outfit Music Improvisation Company, and also with Pete Brown And The Battered Ornaments, Boris and Assaga and also Allan Holdsworth in the short-lived jazz-rock band Sunship, during which time he began to collect the arsenal of household objects he would use with his drum kit and for which he became famous in King Crimson, whom he joined following a request from Fripp in 1972.

Muir was inspired by Crimson's "potential and creating monstrous power in music" and his standard drum kit was now bedecked with rattles, bird calls, car horns, chimes, bells, gongs, metal sheets, tuned drums, plastic bottles. In his 2023 King Crimson Prog cover story on the making of Lark's Tongues... writer Mike Barnes points out that "at a time when to be weird was cool, press shots of Muir leaning towards the camera grinning through a waxed moustache while playing a bowed saw piqued the interest."

Legend has it that Muir gave the album its title, telling Fripp when he asked what he thought the music sounded like, "why, larks' tongues in aspic ... what else?". Muir abruptly quit Crimson following the album's release.

"He was an unbelievable stage performer," Jon Anderson told Prog writer Sid Smith during an interview about Yes's 1973 album Tales From Topographic Oceans, inspired by Muir's suggestion. "I wanted to know what made him do that, what had influenced him. He said to me, 'Here, read it,' and it started me off on the path of becoming aware that there was even a path... Jamie was like a messenger for me and came to me at the perfect time in my life... he changed my life."

Despite a news story from King Crimson's management that a "personal injury sustained onstage during performance" was the reason for Muir's absence, he had in fact moved to the Samye Ling Monastery in Scotland to pursue a Buddhist life.

"There were experiences over a period of about six months which caused me to decide to give up music, so one morning I felt I had to go to E.G. management and tell them," Muir recalled. "It was difficult of course, a whole year of tours had just been lined up... I didn't feel too happy about letting people down, but this was something I had to do or else it would have been a source of deep regret for the rest of my life."

Interestingly, Fripp himself would quit King Crimson in 1974 having discovered the writings of English mystic J.G. Bennett, whch, according to Crimson biographer Sid Smith had "deeply and profoundly resonated with him, confirming his sense of needing to alter the course of his life."

Muir would return to both London, and music, in the 1980s, playing with both Derek Bailey and Evan Parker of Music Improvisation Company, as well as former King Crimson drummer Michael Giles on the soundtrack to the 1983 British independent film Ghost Dance.

By 1990 however, Muir had left music behind him, and devoted his time to painting, the discipline he remained with until his death.

Rick Buckler obit

The Jam's drummer Rick Buckler dies aged 69 as bandmates pay tribute

The Jam drummer Rick Buckler has sadly died at the age of 69 after a short illness, his bandmates Paul Weller and Bruce Foxton have confirmed in separate statements

 

He was not on the list.

The music world is mourning the loss of The Jam's drummer Rick Buckler, who died at 69 following a brief illness on February 17. His former bandmates Paul Weller and Bruce Foxton have each paid tribute.

Weller expressed his grief, saying: "I'm shocked and saddened by Rick's passing. I'm thinking back to us all rehearsing in my bedroom in Stanley Road, Woking. To all the pubs and clubs we played at as kids, to eventually making a record. What a journey! We went far beyond our dreams and what we made stands the test of time. My deepest sympathy to all family and friends - P.W x."

Foxton also shared his sentiments: "I was shocked and devastated to hear the very sad news today. Rick was a good guy and a great drummer whose innovative drum patterns helped shape our songs. I'm glad we had the chance to work together as much as we did. My thoughts are with Leslie and his family at this very difficult time,".

Buckler had recently had to cancel a spoken word tour due to health problems. On February 1, a message was posted on Facebook regarding the cancellation: "Rick and his team want all the fans of Rick and The Jam to know that due to ongoing health issues Rick has been advised to take a break from touring his spoken word events booked for the frst quarter of 2025.

"Rick has been really touched by the number of fans who have booked to see the shows, but presently he has been advised to rest, repair and build his physical strength in order to deal with touring up and down the UK.", reports the Express.

"Rick was really excited to bring his updated "in conversation" show to life in so many new venues and to both loyal fans and new audiences. Once again thank you for you continued love, support and understanding. We will keep you up to date as time goes along. Rick looks forward to seeing you all down the road."

Hailing from Woking, Rick attended Sheerwater Secondary School, where he joined forces with fellow students Paul Weller and Bruce Foxton to form the iconic band The Jam in the early 1970s. He remained a key member until the group's dissolution in 1982.

The split was initiated by Weller, and in a later interview with The Strange Brew, Buckler reflected: "One thing that struck me immediately...was how we just got on with it. We spoke about Paul leaving, and then we just got back into what we were doing, we immersed ourselves in the recording, we were in a recording studio, where Paul made the announcement. We got straight back into work.

"And it was almost not mentioned again, the reasons why Paul wanted to leave...There was no reason. There was no great scheme. The reason that Paul gave us was about why he wanted to leave the band in that initial meeting was rubbish, basically," he said.

Following The Jam's breakup, Buckler went on to form a new band, Time UK, and after they disbanded, he transitioned into production, operating a studio in Islington. In the mid-1990s, he took a break from music and started working as a carpenter in Woking, Surrey, creating cabinets and 'distressed' furniture.

He made a comeback to the music industry in 2005 when he formed a new band called the Gift, which exclusively played old songs from the Jam's repertoire. In 2007, Bruce Foxton joined him and they started touring under the name From the Jam.

However, Buckler left From the Jam in September 2009, fearing that continuing without Weller could lead to them becoming a Jam tribute band. After leaving, he worked in various roles in the music industry and wrote several books about The Jam's history.

He is survived by his wife Lesley and their two children, Jason and Holly.

Itch Jones obit

Legendary Illini Baseball Coach Itch Jones Passes Away

 

He was not on the list.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Coaches enter the profession for a myriad of reasons, including the positive impact they can have on the lives of young people and for developing life-long relationships with the players and staff they associate with.

There are few, if any, coaches who developed more lifetime relationships or had the impact on his players and colleagues as Richard C. "Itch" "Itchy" Jones. That amazing life ended Monday, at the age of 87 surrounded by his loving family in Gore, Oklahoma. He had battled Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease for nearly three years after initially being given just seven months to live. Living almost four times longer than that original diagnosis was additional verification of the perseverance and fight that was signature to Itch Jones' life.

"Itch leaves an unfillable void in our world and the baseball community," said Illinois head coach Dan Hartleb. "He was ahead of his time with his baseball teachings and innovative drills. He was blessed with one of the best minds in the game of baseball. A teacher, clinician, entertainer, and champion.

"He was an outstanding father, husband, brother, and coach. Itch was a second father to me, a lifelong baseball and life mentor. Many of the things we do in our program to this day - both on and off the field - are based on the fundamentals and values that Itch taught and instilled in me.

"Itch was the best human being I have ever been around in my life. I will miss him dearly. He will be missed by all that he touched during his lifetime."

Jones leaves behind his devoted and loving wife, Sue, of 62 years, children Michael (Carol) Jones of Louisville, Kentucky, and Susan Jones, of Gore, Oklahoma, and grandchildren Richard Jones and Micah Jones. Jones was born Feb. 15, 1938, the son of Jinx "Jiggs" and Rosine Jones and was a brother to R.A. "Cowboy" Jones, a 50-plus year jockey who raced in the United States and Canada, who is also deceased.

Jones earned that quirky nickname of "Itchy" from his cousin, Albert, after breaking his leg in third grade and using the handle of a fly swatter to relieve the itchiness between the cast and his skin. The nickname stuck for the remainder of his life, changing only from "Itchy" to "Itch" after Jones was named the head coach at the University of Illinois in 1991 to help him differentiate the people he knew from Southern Illinois University and the start of his new home in Champaign-Urbana. And, as many of his friends, neighbors and colleagues can attest, at first mention of a home project, no matter the size or scope, Jones would help bring the job to completion.

Itch Jones' coaching record speaks for itself with an all-time mark of 1,240-718-6, including a school-record 738 wins in 21 seasons at SIU and 474 victories in 15 years at Illinois. His additional 18 victories came during the first three seasons from 1966-68 as head coach at MacMurray College in Jacksonville, Illinois.

Jones retired from coaching in 2005 as one of the most decorated coaches in NCAA history, ranking 13th on the NCAA Division I wins list and eighth among active coaches at the end of that campaign. His finest season at Illinois was in 1998 when the Illini won their first regular season Big Ten Championship in 35 years. He also led Illinois to the Big Ten regular-season title in his final season in 2005 and to a Big Ten Tournament championship in 2000.

At Southern Illinois, he built a dynasty with seven Missouri Valley Conference regular season titles (1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1984, 1986, 1990), a Midwestern Conference title (1971) and MVC Tournament championships in 1977, 1978, 1981, 1986 and 1990. Jones was named MVC Coach of the Year four times and Big Ten Coach of the Year twice. He was named the NCAA Division I Diamond Baseball Coach of the Year in 1990 and earned two other national coach of the year honors – Adirondack National Coach of the Year in 1971 and The Sporting News Coach of the Year in 1977.

During his 39-year coaching career, he helped more than 22 of his players learn the skills that would take them to the Major Leagues, with well over 100 players moving on to professional baseball. Major leaguers included Dave Stieb, Steve Finley and Scott Spiezio, in addition to Pittsburgh Pirate manager Derek Shelton. Many of his former players continue to enjoy long careers in baseball whether in the front office of professional teams, on-field coaches or as coaches at the collegiate level, including current Fighting Illini coach Dan Hartleb, who both played for Jones at SIU, assisted him at SIU and Illinois and followed him as the head coach of the Fighting Illini beginning in 2006.

A proud native of Herrin, Illinois, Jones was an outstanding basketball player for the Tigers before taking his talents to SIU and the Salukis. He received his bachelor's degree at SIU in 1961 and a master's degree there in 1965. Jones was a three-time All-Conference second baseman for the Salukis, where he was the team MVP as a freshman while lettering in baseball all four years and lettering one year as a starting point guard as a freshman in basketball.

After one season in the Baltimore Orioles minor-league system, Jones accepted a position at Jacksonville High School in 1961 coaching freshman football and junior varsity basketball. In 1964, Jones was promoted to head varsity basketball coach and led his '64 JHS team to the Sweet Sixteen in the Illinois high school basketball state tournament.

Jones became head baseball coach at MacMurray College in 1966 for three seasons before returning to his alma mater as an assistant coach in 1968 and becoming head coach in 1970. In his 21 seasons at SIU he led the Salukis to 10 NCAA tournaments and three College World Series appearances in 1971, 1974 and 1977.

Considered one of the nation's top hitting instructors, there are very few, if anyone, who was a better fungo hitter. He took great pride in his ability to hit pop ups in a phone booth for his catchers at the end of warming up his fielders with ground balls and fly balls.

Jones has membership in nine Hall of Fames, Herrin High School, Jacksonville High School, MacMurray College, Southern Illinois University Athletics, Illinois Basketball Coaches Association, Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association, American Baseball Coaches Association, St. Louis Area Sports and Missouri Valley Conference.

The $4 million renovation of Abe Martin Field at SIU honored Jones when it re-opened for the 2014 season and was dedicated "Richard "Itchy" Jones Stadium." His SIU baseball jersey No. 1 was retired at SIU in 2022, and his high school basketball jersey No. 40 was retired at Herrin at the end of his senior year.

A Celebration of Life will be scheduled for later in 2025.

Julian Holloway obit

Iconic Carry On film star Julian Holloway dies aged 80

 

He was not on the list.

Acting legend Julian Holloway has died aged 80.

Julian first rose to fame in the Carry On films, which premiered between 1967 and 1976, as well as one of the Carry On Christmas TV specials.

The films he appeared in included Carry On Camping and Carry On Up The Khyber.

Doctor Who fans will know him as a leading man in the Doctor Who serial Survival, which was the last part of the plot of the show’s original 26-year run.

He was also a subject of much media scrutiny in the 70s thanks to his brief romance with Tessa Dahl (daughter of iconic author Roald Dahl) in 1976, and the subsequent birth of their daughter, the model and author Sophie Dahl, in 1977.

The actor was destined for stardom as the son of actor and comedian Stanley Holloway.

Julian was born in Oxfordshire, on 24 June, 1944,and knew he wanted to be an actor from a young age.

He was educated at Ludgrove School, Harrow School, and later the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA).

Julian’s other television credits include the Uncle Silas television dramatisations, Elizabeth R, Remember WENN, Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads, Beverly Hills, 90210, Minder, The Professionals, The New Avengers, Z-Cars, The World of Wodehouse, and the Doctor Who story Survival in 1989.

Primarily a TV actor, Julian also made forays into film, starring in moives like Young Winston (1972), Porridge (1979), The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle (1980), A Christmas Carol (2009), and The Rum Diary (2011).

Julian was also known for his talent in voice acting, with his voice featuring in 55 of the 65 episodes of James Bond Jr., a popular animated American show.

Other voice acting roles included Siegfried Fischbacher in 2004’s Father of the Pride, Prime Minister Almec in several episodes of the beloved children’s show Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and the voice of Death in the animated series Regular Show for six seasons.

Sophie Dahl is Julian’s only child, though he was married twice, first for a few months to actress Zena Walker in 1971 and then for five years to  fellow voice over artist and actress Debbie Wheeler starting in 1991.

There are plenty of famous names among those paying tribute to the late star, with Miriam Margoyles taking to Facebook to write: ‘Oh i am very sad. Wonderful man. Wishing you and all his family long life. Too many going.’

English actress Sarah Douglas, who played Ursa in Superman I and Superman II, also shared her grief online, writing: ‘I lost a dear friend yesterday and I’m so, so sad.

‘I have known Julian Holloway since the early 70’s and he has been the best of friends to me all these years. Julian was the wittiest of men and we would laugh and laugh.

‘He was a friend through thick and thin, first in London then LA then back home again. He was also the associate producer of the Brute (1977) but I had first met him professionally in 1973 on a BBC drama called Secrets.

‘There will be lots written about him and all his wonderful work but right now he is just a dear and sorely missed friend.’
