    ...and 801. Bill MacCormick did a lovely tribute to him on his fb page. Good at Chess apparently.

    I don't know much about him really, but my brother had the first two Sky albums and played them endlessly, so I recognised his name straight away.  RIP

    Another sad loss.

    It's not a competition.

    That piece of music which accompanied the closing scene of The Long Good Friday, absolutely made that ending.

    Missed this thread! I used to really like Sky back in the 70s, and I've never been a fan of film soundtracks (I only have 2 or 3) but I loved his music for the Long Good Friday (Which I do have). The music is superb and really adds to the film, especially that classic ending shot. Superb!

    RIP Francis
