- Bobby Farrell obituary
Singer and dancer in the phenomenally successful Boney MAmong the perennial Christmas hits to be heard in supermarkets and elsewhere is the pop-disco version of the carol Mary's Boy Child by the 1970s vocal group Boney M. The phenomenally successful quartet was manufactured by the German record producer Frank Farian. Its male singer and dancer was Bobby Farrell, who has been found dead aged 61 in a hotel in St Petersburg the day after giving a performance of Boney M hits with his own group.Farrell was born in Aruba, in the Caribbean. As a teenager he became a sailor for two years before settling in northern Europe. After travelling in Norway and the Netherlands, he based himself in Germany, where he worked sporadically as a disc jockey and a dancer.In 1975, Farian concocted the song Baby Do You Wanna Bump? and decided to find a team of singers and dancers to perform it in clubs. Four young African-Caribbean performers resident in Germany – Farrell, Maizie Williams, Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett – became Boney M. The foursome had a constant stream of hits across Europe (including the Soviet bloc), Latin America and Asia between 1976 and 1982.Estimates of the group's record sales vary between 100m and 150m. In Britain alone, Boney M made the Top 10 singles chart 10 times, beginning in 1976 with Daddy Cool, followed by Sunny and Ma Baker (both 1977). The 1978 releases Rivers of Babylon/Brown Girl in the Ring and Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord each sold almost 2m copies. There were also three No 1 albums, Nightflight to Venus (1978), Oceans of Fantasy (1979) and a hits collection issued in 1980. Only the US remained impervious to the group's catchy sound, despite Boney M's evident affinity with the then-fashionable disco scene.The three women in the group wore exotic, glitte 歌手、驚異的な成功ボニーMAmongのダンサーやスーパーマーケットで聞こえるように他の驚異的な成功カルテットは、ドイツのレコードによって製造された1970年代のボーカルグループボニーM.のキャロルメリーズボーイチャイルドのポップディスコバージョンです多年生クリスマスヒット生産して、Frank Farian

- Teenage girl killed in skinhead rampage at Russian festival
Over 100 men attack at Tornado festival in Miass, injuring up to 100 people in latest ultra-nationalist attack to hit countryA 14-year-old girl was killed and dozens of revellers injured yesterday when more than 100 bare-chested skinheads rampaged through a rock concert in central Russia attacking people with iron clubs.The teenager was among a crowd of around 3,000 people at the Tornado festival in Miass, 900 miles east of Moscow, when the attack happened.Many visitors were left bloodied and dazed after being hit with iron clubs and sticks, television and news agencies reported. One report, quoting a police source, suggested the teenage girl had suffered multiple stab wounds.State-owned Rossiya-24 TV saidup to 100 people were injured and 14 ambulances were called to the scene.Images on the local news website Chelnovosti.ru showed battered revellers and scores of skinheads congregating at the event, which featured Russia's top rock acts.The motive for the assault was not known, and the ITAR-Tass news agency said local police had refused to comment.Witnesses told Russian journalists that the skinheads burst through security cordons, pushing police aside and in some cases grabbing their truncheons to attack visitors.The Ekho Moskvy radio station reported that around 15 attackers were detained, but the majority fled.Russia has an ingrained neo-Nazi skinhead movement and attacks on foreigners in Moscow and St Petersburg have been relatively common in recent years. The January 2009 murder of lawyer Stanislav Markelov and journalist Anastasiya Baburova prompted a Kremlin crackdown on ultra-nationalists, who were blamed for the killings.In April, a Moscow court banned the far-right Slavic Union, whose Russian acronym SS intentionally mimicked that used by the Nazis' infamous p ミアスの竜巻祭で100人の攻撃は、最新の超国家主義的な攻撃で100人にcountryA 14歳の少女を襲った最大負傷以上殺害されたと飲み騒ぐ人、数。負傷昨日、100人以上の裸の胸のスキンヘッドを介してロックを暴れ中央ロシアでのコンサートは、鉄clubs.The 10代の人々を攻撃する約3,000人の群衆の間ミアス、900マイルモスクワの東に竜巻祭時の攻撃happened.Many訪問者は血まみれに、鉄でヒットされた後、ボーッと左にいたクラブ、棒、テレビ、報道機関が報じた
