Ricky Warburton R.I.P.

[Souljer6]

Our old friend and Northern Soul stalwart Ricky sadly passed away on Monday. He was a lovely guy, committed to the scene and he embraced its many facets, since he was a teenager in the early '70's. He built up a tidy and vast collection of records (mainly '60's), albums as well as 45's together with books, mags and general memorabilia.  His record room was something to be seen, quite fantastic (but now cleared out!)

The funeral will be held at Agecroft Crem, Langley Road, Pendlebury, Salford, M27 8SS at 3.00 pm on Thursday 25th August 2022.    N.B. The originally posted time of 3.30 was incorrect.

We send our love to Sue, Karen, Chris, grandchildren and all members of his family.

We had some great times, some big laughs and eventually we will see you again Ricky outside that great allnighter in the sky.
