I really liked The Alarm - much deeper than their critics gave them credit for. Saw them at the Dome once, which was a potty venue for a crowd that liked to pogo around! Also, caught them accidentally on Venice Beach giving a short free concert on the morning of the last day of our year away - just filling in time before an evening flight - and there they were! What a great way to end a long trip.

I only recently discovered this song and have been playing to death. When I first heard I thought it was the singer from Then Jericho but obviously not. Sad news, but what a legacy to leave behind.

In the North Wales ‘Hall of Fame’. The only band from the region who i can recollect ‘broke through’. RIP

I never got to see The Alarm live, but I did see Mike perform solo at Greenbelt in the late 80's.
The song "Rain in the Summertime" and the album title "Eye of the Hurricane" were inspired by the terribly bad wet weather at Greenbelt '86, my first one.
RIP Mike
Also saw the Alarm at Greenbelt where Mike also did an acoustic set. Then met him, bizarrely, at a Buckingham Palace Garden party. Lovely guy.
