We lost Ronnie Golden (Tony De Meur) last week. He was a brilliant punk frontman in the Fabulous Poodles but, from what I understand, mainly wanted to be a comedian. He was a bloody good one too, working closely with Barry Cryer and at the Comedy Store. He’s fucking hilarious as Buddy Holly, playing guitar upside down, in The Young Ones. The episode you want is “Oil”.
Here’s a pic of me and John Dowie with Tony less than a year ago. I feel lucky to have met him.
And here’s one of the first pics you see adorning the wall when you enter the Comedy Store today.
Coo Coo, Daddy Long Legs.
