C64 Dreams Kickstarter

Re: Back In Time Live Signed DVD

Andreas Wallstrom bottom left, Ben Daglish bottom-right, Reyn Ouwehand middle-left... Not sure if that is Marcel Donné at the top, doesn't look like the signatures I have.

Probably signed at Back In Time Manchester or the Copenhagen Retro Concert.

You are right, I should update them...

Re: R.I.P Ben Daglish

We attended Ben's memorial yesterday, and it was a good send-off for him - with laughter and music.

Representing the C64 and Amiga - Chris Abbott, Marcel Donné, Rob Hubbard, Tony Crowther, Mark Knight, Max Hall and Jackie Mason, with Jon Hare giving a short memoir about Ben's computer music.
