Chalky Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) The scene lost two of its characters today. Legendary 6ts figures Roger Stewart and Jim Eddleston have passed away. Sad day for the scene. R.I.P. Edited March 2, 2020 by Chalky
John Siret Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 Roger was a fantastic bloke always use to speak down the 100 club back in the early 90s, brought many a CD from him. The 100 club will not be the same. 3
Harrythedog Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 Really sad news. Knew Jim from the early days and as Chalky says one of the scenes true characters. RIP Jim 1

Daved Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Used to see Roger out and about quite a bit about 20 years ago. He was a regular guest at These Old Shoes at the time. Very sorry to hear of his passing.
Guest Polyvelts Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 in the eighties the 100 club WAS Horace, Ian, randy, Mick, Keb and Roger. Many happy memories of soulful nights there. RIP Roger
Rictic66 Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Very upsetting. Roger has been unwell for a long while, but it’s still a shock. NS was much of his life - totally dedicated. I remember when he found the first Ted Wilson - I can’t take no more - on Sierra at our local boot fair in Chiswick. How the hell did that get there. He recognised its potential straight away. We had so many great times, and I am fortunate to have benefitted from his knowledge and record collection. He took the photos at my wedding (BnW) and then between us we lost the reel! Also knew Jim - he was the first person to recommend Mark Lloyd - When I’m gonna find her - to me and sold me a copy. Still a rare record. He loved talking records. Gonna raise a glass to you both tonight. PAul T 2
