Yes every death sad, this one particularly, I knew Dave since our Hampstead Birds Next, Record corner, Golden Torch & Mecca days. Super to hook up with him again in 1998 after 25 years. We travelled to the US together, loadsa niters together and even DJ-ed together. Always a cackle, Christiane's and my condolences to Steph. R.I.P. and thumbs up big man.

I didn't know Dave Rivers, as such, although I met him once or twice, years ago at the Castle in Tooting.  I do recall buying a copy of Darrow Fletcher's My Young Misery from him, one night.

Rest in Peace Dave.
