Reckon you're right.  Great to see the photos again.... except for one of them.

indeed, I suspect the pub was Nellie Dean's & it was for the Headcount gig at Gossips :

Jamie - that is fecking hilarious about the porn.


I guess I met him briefly a couple of times.  The time I especially remember was in a pub in London (in fairness, the other time was probably also in a pub in London).  I think we were having a mini-gathering, Antoni was there, also Pete West who'd recently arrived on the gathering in a flurry of wind-ups.  (Antoni actually took me aside when I arrived and put in a good word for Westy as a fellow Chelsea boy 'cos I think he was worried that some people had been taking it all a bit seriously.)  Anyway, the thing that really was noticeable (and others have commented on it too) was how Raven was so completely not up himself about being a rock star.  Given the circumstances, that's really quite impressive.


He was also really funny on the gathering - happy days.


So yeah, fond memories, and I'll raise a coffee cup to him.  Taken too soon - however it seems unlikely he was going to grow old and fade away.


Thin southern Jamie

Really? 
Blimey. My one regret is I never got to meet him in the flesh. Funny guy and genuinely nice guy. I once had to gently request he stop sending me porn at work!


The list was great fun in the raven days.

Can you believe it has been 10 years since Raven left us?

10 years? How did that go so quick?

I still think of him regularly and am thankful to have had the (dubious!) pleasure of knowing him and working with him.

He left quite a mark on the planet. Aside from his artistic efforts, he left some lovely kids, one of which had his 18th Birthday recently.


So raise a glass if you can or spare a thought for our dear friend Paul Raven. Naughty boy!


Miss you mate!

RIP
