21st century modernist & sixties underground music culture

Sad new folks just got of the phone with Roger Powell and a close friend of Reg and the King of British Soul and lead singer of the Action has passed away on Friday 8th October from cancer.

The funeral will take place at 12.30 tomorrow (Tuesday 26 Oct) at a small chappell in South London.

If you would like to attend and pay your respects in person drop me a line at drrobert@btinternet.com

Sad news that... Only just discovered them too. Oh well... We still have his music. :-> xXx
Made a Big man cry. Very sad indeed

Mark.
Reg will live on through his music, I cherish my memories of meeting him, he was such a character, always in great spirits and a just a really lovely person. Goodbye Reg.
Reggie got a great send off today. Beautiful service 'Since I lost my baby' at the start and 'Shads' at the end with a great sermon from the pastor who talked much about the Action and there music.
Two obituaries in national newspapers this week for Reggie.
