Brian: a tribute
Brian Hibbard, of Flying Pickets fame, has sadly died. He was the lead singer of the group, and had a smash hit with "Only You" which made the Christmas No 1 spot. The group was formed by actors in the 7.84 company, the radical political theatre group, and took their name from actions in the 1970's Heath/miners' strike(not the later Scargill/Thatcher one, as myth would have it). I thought people would like to hear him singing Adrian Mitchell's "Victor Jara of Chile", as a tribute to Brian's ucompromising commitment to radical causes and theatre: and as a tribute to Adrian's commitment, come to think of it! Brian's death is a personal loss to me in many ways, particularly as we had planned to work together this summer, he was going to record Victor Jara for the new Boat Band CD. Alas, that collaboration will not be happening, but he will be remembered. He fought the good fight, and he was a fabulous singer. And of course he had spectacularly impresive sideburns.
Nice one, Brian.

Great moving song of two American songwriters an homage to Victor Jara. I thanks you with all my heart this song today and before. V. Jara not only composed for the Chilean people buy also for the human conditions in our peoples of Latin America, Vietnam. He also took one of the song of Pete Seeger and transformed into a satirical song called "Las casitas del barrio alto" (The little houses of the High Neighborhood). Thanks you American brothers for this homage.
Surely the late Adrian Mitchell was from UK?
So sad to hear of Brian's death. Taken from us too young and too early. Love goes out to all those who were close to him...what a singer, what an actor and what a good man! So sad to hear of his death. This is a beautiful tribute to him...thanks Greg for putting this up. Watched it the other night but didn't read the bit below about Brian dying on the 20/06/2012. Another brilliant musical/acting talent taken from us too early!! Bea Mitchell
Beautiful. Thank you...!
I only found out about the sad death of Brian today.I watched "Revolver" film last night and as is usual of me I Googled Brian and learned the sad news.He was about 3 weeks older than me and I have always enjoyed seeing him on TV.He was a natural performer.I always said that if they made a film on Keith Moon Brian would have been the best choice for lead role.God Bless You Matex

Que hermoso homenaje e interpretación para nuestro héroe y símbolo de la poesía y música.
Gracias Brian Hibbard por este legado y saludos desde hoy un indolente y miserable país llamado "chile" y que más temprano que tarde vuelva a ser un nuevo CHILE.
El 11 de septiembre de 1973, Víctor Jara debía cantar en la Universidad de Santiago.
En cambio, con el golpe de Estado del general Augusto Pinochet, en marcha, fue detenido y conducido al estadio Nacional de Santiago.
Durante cuatro días fue torturado, golpeado, electrocutado, con las manos y muñecas rotas, antes de ser finalmente ametrallado hasta la muerte, a la edad de 38 años.
Su viuda, Joan, dice que su cuerpo fue arrojado a la calle, y más tarde fue encontrado en la morgue "entre montones y montones de cadáveres anónimos" que vio ese día.
I should mention that I posted this on the boatbandvideo channel because that's the only UA-cam I have access to. THis is not the Boat Band as such playing,it's a bunch of musicians associated with Adrian Mitchell and radical theatre generally, (Welfare State International in particulalar).
