Happy Birthday to Bernard Sumner, pioneer of at least two genres of music, talented multi-instrumentalist, iconic singer and lyricist. Thank you for creating the perfect mix of bitter and sweet! (Large photo by me, taken at Wythenshawe Park, 2024.)

Happy birthday to New Order frontman and all round top bloke Bernard Sumner.
I first saw them in March '83 as a 15 year old and I've continued seeing them ever since. This picture taken in the hotel lobby, early hours of the morning, after an Edinburgh gig, May 2012. Gavi di Gavi as you're asking.

Happy Birthday Bernard Sumner (born 4 Jan 1956). Wonderful, innovative, musician; contributor to three of the best bands ever; very genuine guy; and great company. Here I am wearing his coat (also he is on tiptoes).
