Smokie aka Ste stokes

[Hooker1951]

Some of you might be aware ,for the ones who aren’t  Ste is terminally ill, I’ve had a phone call today while holidaying in Greece, To say he’s been allowed home to spend his last days with Palliative care.

As you all know Ste was as colourful character as they come in life and on the Soul Scene, He is a great friend of mine and I’m sure if we send some prayers out to Ste and his family it would help them through this awful time. He loved his music and all his friends on the Scene, Lets send him some of that Love back.

He was out a couple of Saturdays back at a local night, he was struggling and it was sad to see him like that, a true character of the soul scene with some right tales to tell. 

[Tagtag]

Smokey is much loved on the scene, an irrepressible character with a phenomenal knowledge of our music. Always look forward to a drink and a chat. If you're reading this Smokey, have one for me mate!

My thoughts and prayers are with Smokie and his family I've been kept updated with his illness and  its never good when friends are poorly 

Had some great times over the years in his company and plenty of laughs and some dodgy times thinking of him most days and my life whenever I was in his company was never dull

Love you mate ❤

Sending Love

It's very sad to hear this. Last time I saw him was about 3 or 4 years back in a cafe in Wolves with Walter. Please pass on my thoughts.
