Default Neil Innes

So, farewell Ron Nasty. Part time Python, Rutle and songwriting genius.
Is anyone else old enough to remember Do Not Adjust Your Set and Rutland Television?
I saw Neil performing live on 2 occasions and he was great. Not much footage of him around but I always liked this one.

Much to the confused looks from daughter and her boyfriend I played a few Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band tracks last night in his honour. English eccentricity at its very best. Sweet essence of giraffe indeed.

RIP Neil.

Yes, remember all of those, plus the Bonzo Dog doo da band. Talented bloke, lived about 20 miles from my gaff
