The World Just Turned A Little Less Dayglo

Marianne Joan Elliott-Said
RIP
3 July 1957 – 25 April 2011


I was heartbroken to learn that one of my musical heroines Marian Joan Elliott-Said, better known as Poly Styrene the high priestess of punk, passed away last night after a short battle with cancer. I was fortunate enough to interview Marian earlier this year and feel honoured and humbled that such a legend would take time out despite her illness to respond . Goodnight Marian the world turned a little less dayglo last night go rock heaven and give John Peel a hug while you're there.
