Ryszard Poznakowski died on yesterday night. Even though the number of library music tracks he composed is minuscule (one song each on Coloursound and Selected Sound repertoire), it's still a loss:

He wrote a lovely piece, Koniec Sezonu, recorded by Orkiestra Polskiego Radia I Telewizji W Łodzi, which under the title 'Summer Symphony' was used on the BBC test card in the 80s - sorry to hear he's died.

No mention of Vic Flick so far, so I'll mention him - composer of a fair few library tracks, and guitarist on many more (he was one of Syd Dale's regular rhythm players for Amphonic).  Oh, and he played the James Bond guitar as well...he died a couple of weeks back.

Thanks for this LT. Laurie was an enormously talented musician whose work behind the scenes contributed to the success of so many entertainers. A great loss.
