The Cardiacs

James EB's picture

Love them or Hate them, incredibly they've been going for over thirty years. Cue up a cheap joke: Tim Smith is currently recovering from a heart attack. Hope he gets well soon.


Enjoy.

Cardiacs

Responsible for one bona-fide classic, I reckon.

Yeah.

I was glad to see that tweet too. In précis: the heart attack was slightly secondary to the effects of the massive stroke he had at the same time. Tim Smith is now partially paralysed, has very limited speech, and has been in a neurological rehab centre permanently since 2008. It's a terribly sad situation.

Wonderful piece of music, hope you enjoy it.

This is all so sad.

They don't half divide opinion, The Cardiacs, but I think they're wonderful, and wish Tim all the best.
