Be good to see you ...it was you who put me forward to play some tunes to Paul  ...Thankyou .....and i'm ever thankful he gave me my first ever dj spot ........so am honoured to play some at his event !!!!

 It was a great night and you played some great tunes I remember it well!!! We had some great nights both at that venue and at the bigger place where you went down the ramp!!  The one up on the tops was fairly interesting  nearly got blown into Grant (RIP) and his girlfriend when I opened my mate John's car door mind we were almost in the clouds but a real posh venue when you got in there!!

Just over two weeks to go, as we near an emotional day for all I'm sure at The Paul Harris Memorial Alldayer.

Saturday September 24th is the date for your diary!! The Rochdale Ukrainian Club, Mere Street, Rochdale OL11 1HJ hosts eight soulful hours of the best music in the world.

With an all star line up of DJs!! The event runs 3pm-Midnight, admission £5 pay on the door

All proceeds go the RSPCA Rochdale branch. The response and feedback so far has been off the scale, see you there!!!

Can only echo what many have already said I feel very honoured to be playing a few records in remembrance of such a well loved truly nice Kind warm hearted gentleman always honest and truthful told it how it was but oh so funny at times , made me laugh so many times one regarding a rubber suit , I’ll say no more apart from he never batted an eye lid when telling me , I was nearly on the floor in bits , It will be a great day remembering a very genuine guy and also a big thanks for the  people who have organised all this truly inspirational you have really done both paul and yourselves proud very well done bless you !!

Hats off to Janette for putting this all together. Happy to play a small part in the proceedings. I think we all have our recollections of Paul and his wicked sense of humour. Still hard to believe and miss our phone calls, he would have me in stitches. Still have a few of my purchases from Paul in my collection, pretty certain one or two will get a spin on this momentous occasion, see you there!!
