Judy Dyble

Judy Dyble

Judith Aileen Dyble (pronounced Die-bull;  13 February 1949 – 12 July 2020) was an English singer-songwriter, most notable for being a vocalist and a founding member of Fairport Convention and Trader Horne. In addition, she and Ian McDonald joined and recorded several tracks with Giles, Giles and Fripp, who later became King Crimson. These tracks surfaced on the Brondesbury Tapes CD and Metaphormosis vinyl LP.
Dyble was born at the Middlesex Hospital, Central London. Her first band was Judy and The Folkmen (which existed between 1964 and 1966).  They made homemade demo recordings, none of which were released, but some are included on a mooted anthology of Dyble's career. (Universal/Sanctuary set a release date in 2007 for this, but the release was cancelled when Sanctuary was taken over by Universal.) She then became the original vocalist with Fairport Convention  from 1967 to 1968.

In November 1966 Ashley 'Tyger' Hutchings asked her to sing and play in some of the various band incarnations with himself, Richard Thompson, and Simon Nicol. They were all part of jug-bands and anything that needed a female vocal, mainly because of their reluctance to sing. This became the nucleus of Fairport Convention, initially with Shaun Frater as a drummer and later Martin Lamble. The group recorded their first album with her, their repertoire at the time consisting of both American singer-songwriter works, plus originals. The first single was a cover of a 1930s American song, "If I Had a Ribbon Bow." The band covered and re-worked numerous American recordings with the band members choosing some tracks to work with from manager Joe Boyd's record collection. The band also picked up on the works of Joni Mitchell before she was known in the UK, and covered two of her songs on the first Fairport album, which was self-titled. 
Fairport's early live shows in London in the late 1960s saw Dyble share stages with names like Jimi Hendrix, and Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd. Famously, she sat on the front of the stage at the Speakeasy Club knitting,  while Hendrix and Richard Thompson jammed. Dyble guested on The Incredible String Band's 1968 album The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter (on "The Minotaur's Song"),  and on G.F. Fitz-Gerald's 1970 album Mouseproof (on "Ashes of an Empire"). 
After her stint with Fairport Convention, Dyble (along with her then-boyfriend Ian McDonald) joined the English pop band Giles, Giles and Fripp by famously advertising in Melody Maker.  Dyble contributed to demo recordings for the group, but left after her relationship with McDonald ended. Giles, Giles, and Fripp – retaining McDonald – would later evolve into the foundation progressive rock band King Crimson.

Dyble would go on to become one half of the duo Trader Horne, with ex-Them member Jackie McAuley.  Pete Sears was originally the third member of the band, but flew to the United States before recording began. The group took its name from John Peel's nanny Florence, called "Trader" Horne—a reference to explorer Trader Horn. The duo signed to Dawn (a subsidiary of Pye Records) releasing one album,  Morning Way in 1969, and two highly prized, collectible vinyl singles. Dyble wrote the title track, "Morning Way," and co-wrote "Velvet to Atone" with Martin Quittenton for the album. The pairing shared stages with acts such as Humble Pie, Yes, and Genesis. The duo split a few days before they should have headlined the now legendary Hollywood festival in Newcastle Under Lyme   that saw Mungo Jerry first come to public attention. In 2008, Trader Horne was featured in Kingsley Abbott's book, 500 Lost Gems of the 60s: to coincide with this, Stuart Maconie did a one-hour biopic radio special on Dyble's career on BBC6 programme the Freak Zone, as well as a significant piece in Record Collector. 

In 1973, Dyble left the music business to work with her husband, DJ and scenester Simon Stable (who had played bongos on albums by Bridget St John and Ten Years After under his real name, Count Simon de la Bédoyère).  Later on, Dyble (by now a mother) worked as a librarian. 

At the 1981 Fairport Convention Annual Reunion (held that year at Broughton Castle), Dyble appeared on stage as a surprise guest: backed by Fairport's Full House lineup, she sang Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides, Now" and the Everly Brothers' "When Will I Be Loved". :103 She also appeared as a guest in 1982 (A Week-End in The Country), 1997 (30th anniversary), 2002 (35th anniversary) and 2007 (40th anniversary).

Daniel Lewis Lee

Daniel Lewis Lee

Daniel Lewis Lee (born January 31, 1973)  is an American white supremacist and convicted murderer who was sentenced to death for the 1996 murders of William Mueller and his family. Lee and his accomplice, Chevie Kehoe, murdered gun dealer William Frederick Mueller, his wife, and his 8-year-old step-daughter, in Arkansas, on January 11, 1996.

Kehoe was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences for the Mueller murders. Lee was also convicted for his role in the murders, and was sentenced to death by the United States federal government, in spite of pleas for clemency from the Muellers' family members.  Lee was scheduled to be executed on July 13, 2020, but on that date, a U.S. district judge blocked the execution, citing unresolved legal issues.  If executed, he will become the first person to be executed by the Federal Government in 17 years.
Lee was born on January 31, 1973, in Yukon, Oklahoma.  He was reportedly abused and neglected as a child.  On July 24, 1990, in Oklahoma City, then 17-year-old Lee got into an altercation with another man, Joseph “Joey” Wavra III, at a party. Lee struck Wavra in the face and kicked him on the floor once he'd collapsed. He then assisted his cousin, John David Patton, in moving Wavra to a sewer tunnel. Lee took items from Wavra and handed Patton a knife which Patton used to kill him. Lee then assisted in disposing of Wavra's clothes. On December 2, 1990, Lee pleaded guilty to robbery, whereupon the murder charge was dismissed. He was sentenced to five years imprisonment for his involvement in the crime, while Patton was sentenced to life without parole. 

Lee met white supremacist Chevie Kehoe in 1995, and was recruited into a group called the APR. The APR was a white supremacist organization known as the Aryan Peoples' Republic or the Aryan Peoples' Resistance. Kehoe formed the APR to establish an independent nation of white members of the Christian Identity faith. On May 3, 1995, Lee was convicted of carrying a concealed weapon and was sentenced to six months probation

Serge Aurier

Serge Aurier

Serge Alain Stéphane Aurier (French: [sɛʁʒ oʁje]; born 24 December 1992) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a right back for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and captains the Ivory Coast national team.

Aurier moved to France as a child and played for Lens, Toulouse and Paris Saint-Germain, winning 11 major trophies with the last. He totalled 169 appearances in Ligue 1 and was twice named in the competition's Team of the Year. In 2017, he joined Tottenham for a fee of around £23 million.

He made his international debut for the Ivory Coast in 2013 and has earned over 50 caps. He represented the nation at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and three Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, winning the 2015 edition.
Aurier played for various youth teams and academies before he was accepted to join Villepinte. He then joined Lens in Ligue 1, where this started his professional footballing career.  Shortly after, Aurier, who was then thirteen at the time, had to leave his friends and family as a result of joining Lens.  There, Aurier was assigned to the club's reserve team and at a point, was the club's captain in the reserve team.  In June 2009, Aurier signed his first professional contract with Lens. 

Aurier made his professional debut for the club in a 1–0 win over Saint-Étienne on 22 December 2009.  Aurier was given another opportunity in the Round of 16 of Coupe de la Ligue, a 2–1 loss against Lorient.  He soon sustained a shoulder injury that left him out for two or three weeks.  Despite this, Aurier went on to make five appearance for Lens in his first season.

Aurier's second season saw him break into the first team, and although he went on to make 26 appearances in 2010–11, the club was relegated to Ligue 2 after finishing second-last in the league table, at 19th. Prior to club's relegation, Aurier had signed a contract extension with the club through to 2015 

Ahead of the 2011–12 season, Aurier's performance soon attracted interest from clubs around England,  with the player considering departing Lens for a new opportunity.  However, Aurier ruled out a move abroad, implying that regardless of whether or not Aurier chose to stay or leave Lens, he would be footballing for a member of France's principal league.  Despite this, however, Aurier began the year with Lens, making 16 appearances in the first half of the season around which time the club was facing financial issues.
