Shit Conor - you bring me bad news there…. By way of coincidence, I’m just back from the Atlantic coast where I stayed over with the brother on a campsite and we ended up in the wee small hours beerily talking about Ger Williams - the biggest Factory obsessive either of us has ever come across, I’m sure…
By way of another tribute, here’s Paul Morley’s obit from the Guardian :

(I see Wilson got (mis)educated by the same crowd as ourselves)
And try to find his recent cameo in that excellent film ‘adaptation’ of ‘Tristram Shandy’ (’Cock and Bull Story’, is the title I think in English) by the same bloke who made the 24 Hour Party People film
