This is my tribute to my friend and bandmate Dave Ball. I've used various instruments that we used together, to create some sparse, meditative and reflective music.
Rest In Peace Dave. See you on the other side.

I wrote a piece on the late, great Dave Ball for @thequietus.com

'#SoftCell bandmate, Marc Almond, said: "Thank you Dave for being an immense part of my life and for the music you gave me. I wouldn’t be where I am without you.”'

R.I.P. Dave Ball

I'm sorry about lack of activity here, at first I didn't have enough time to work on project, then I was hit with mental exhaustion and health issues, and now I'm having technical difficulties to maintain the wiki proper.

And #onthisday in #softcellhistory.
Wishing a very happy birthday to the one and only Dave Ball! 🎹⚡

One year since Regis and I hosted A Some Bizzare Evening at Centrala in Birmingham. A weird, wonderful and chaotic affair that saw the first public screening of Soft Cell’s Sex Dwarf video since 1982. Stevo was his usual baffling, frustrating, and very funny self and a good night was had by all.
