• 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

Peter Green RIP

Early Mac were terrific and for a soul bending guitar virtuoso performance Albatross i right up there.

Was lucky enough to see him a while back.Rather troubled soul but he made lovely music.

Oh Well
 
Albatross, Man of the World, Green Manalishi and Oh Well were all iconic releases amongst me and my muso mates in the late 60s/early 70s, part of the soundtrack of our lives at that time. RIP.
 
I just came on here to post this, RIP.

Legend.

Me too, Dave. A real hero in the late 60s, such a shame he lost his way with mental health issues. A gigantic talent. RIP.
 
Just read of this,incredibly sad to hear.

Like Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd, a musical genius destroyed by drugs but I read unlike Syd was not self inflicted. Apparently he was invited to a party in Germany where someone spiked his drink with a massive dose of LSD. Done his head in. He did comeback many years after, but never the same.

With both I suspect the drugs made already underlying issues come to the fore. If you've already got a tendency towards mental illness LSD won't help.
 
There is a photo doing the round of PG is his caravan surrounding by squalor and looking like a tramp.Hard viewing.
