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

Nice, very mellow! A Sunday morning tune IMO. And some really nice images too. My brother used to know Hans during the 80s and kept in touch with him during the 90s when they both lived in the States because my bro used to service Fairlights which were one of the first major computer based sampler keyboards and HZ had one and they were also much loved by Trevor Horn, Peter Gabriel, Stevie Wonder amongst others. From the Fairlight Wiki page "Peter Gabriel was the first owner of a Fairlight Series 1 in the UK. Boz Burrell of Bad Company purchased the second which Hans Zimmer hired for many recordings during the early part of his career"

Love all sorts me, I'm always sifting through YouTube to find new music. My Mrs is a massive John Barry fan. We were planning to see him in London, but couldn't go in the end due to other commitments, wish we had now, he died soon after, the missus was gutted.

Cheers! I love bits of music trivia like that. First commercial release in the UK that used a Fairlight was actually a Kate Bush album but Peter Gabriel had set up a company called Syco Systems and they were the UK agents for Fairlight which was an Oz outfit. My brother worked for Syco doing service, repairs & upgrades cos he was always a Wiz with electronic stuff. The people who used to drop into Syco was like a who's who of the early 80s. People like Dave Gilmour & Roger Taylor of Queen were regulars and he once went to Stewart Copeland's mansion to do some on site repairs! Those were the days!
