• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Clem Burke RIP

Was only watching 'When Blondie came to Britain' on the iPlayer Friday night. What a band! RIP Clem.
 
Bloody hell that’s a shock. He wasn’t very old!

Loved Blondie so much when I was a kid. Love them still now.

Parallel Lines was almost worn out the number of times I played it when it came out.

I saw them in Cardiff a few years ago. I reckon there were at least three females to every male. Clearly many family groups of grandmother, daughter and granddaughter there. They clearly have a particular appeal to the female of the species. She is an icon of course.

I quite like her too. 👀

It's difficult to conceive these days there were bands that were hugely popular like Blondie or The Jam yet remained critically acclaimed. Except perhaps 'Hear of Glass" with Girorgio Moroder 70s synth line-those singles could have been released by a cool Radio 6 band yesterday.
 
Saw them in the late 70s when she was unreal. No one noticed Clem then…except me, as I played drums. And I didnt really notice him much. RIP Clem. Joining Rick. Two excellent and under appreciated stick men bite the dust close together.
 
Carl Palmer is still going strong on the drums gladly , a great live solo performer during his spotlight showcase .

Where do you start looking at Blondie and Debbie Harrys career and soundtrack over the years for us oldies .

Sad news , think he was drumming at Blondies Glastonbury slot a few years back , he looked full of energy .

And she’s a big Cheap Trick fan too. 👀
