Live At The Masque 11-11-07 - R.I.P. Brendan Mullen

[RonaldVaughan]

Very interesting!! And check out my 5-minute insert on BRENDAN (RODNEY show

from 1978). An old "Los Angeles Times" article noted that the punk scene opened

the way for FEMALE musicians as well, "highly visible punkettes playing everything

from saxophones to drums".

BRENDAN MULLEN,R.I.P.

We used to rehearse down their back in the day. My cousin used to jam with the Mau mau's.

I'm just devistated by this ...how can we have world without Brendan Mullen in it? I knew him well for almost 30 years and to think that I'll never hear that unique Scottish lilt of his again....God, my heart is absolutely breaking. Thanks so much for posting this.

Brendan Mullen was from Paisley Scotland...he might very well have spent some time in Manchester during his life, but he was a Scotsman thru and thru.

I was a friend of his brother Len and also met Brendan a few times (& for more than a few drinks) in Stockport

Len Mullen was a good runner (appearing on the beach scene in Chariots of Fire). Len stayed in Stockport for the rest of his life

They moved down from Scotland as children. As Brendan was the older brother he retained his strong Scots bur. Brendan spent his teenage years in Stockport, working as a trainee newspaper reporter trainee before moving to the States

Oh man...he was one of the highlights of "Decline" -- "The air in utopia is poisoned. The final joke." R.I.P. (Rest in punk).
