Popular Post Nickinstoke Posted February 29 Popular Post Share Posted February 29 I’m sad to report the passing today of Jim Bates (Platters81 on SS). Many of you will remember Jim as a fixture at Stafford and numerous venues of the 80s and 90s. Poor health kept him out of circulation in more recent years, but he never lost his love for the music, the soul scene and his great record collection. When I know, I’ll post details of his funeral arrangements 3 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tony Foster Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Very sad news, Jim was a wealth of knowledge. I had many a lovely chat with him. He always had some very interesting records in his sale box. Our sincere condolences to all family and friends, thank you for the memories Jim. RIP Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
