• 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

Reports that she has sadly died. Given the many difficulties through her life and recent death of her son this is very tragic. Same age as me. 'Mandinka' will always remind me of the University Disco

RIP
 
Only knew her for One track , but what a classic that was . nice one Prince .

Do believe she lost her way in later life , only 56 , sad .
 
Another victim of the "Magdalene Laundries."

“We were girls in there, not women, just children really. And the girls in there cried every day."

“It was a prison. We didn’t see our families, we were locked in, cut off from life, deprived of a normal childhood."

“We were told we were there because we were bad people. Some of the girls had been raped at home and not believed.

She had hell of a time of it and unfortunately she’s more famous for that than her creativity, plus her biggest song was a Prince reject. It’s all very sad.

RIP
 
Much too young and so sad. I loved her album "I do not want what I haven't got" and it is still one of my favourites 34 years on. Like a lot of artists who have one absolutely massive hit, most of her work was overlooked and underrated. Great uptempo tracks like 'The Emperor's New Clothes' and 'Jump in the River' are not the type of song she was mainly known for but there can't be many better songs that only use 2 chords than 'Emperors' IMO.

RIP Sinéad or Shuhada' Sadaqat as you preferred to be known.
