Just heard this. Stunned, shocked and deeply saddened.

Ted was a towering figure on the scene for so many years and a long term member and contributor on Soul Source.

Rest in peace Ted. Thoughts are with friends and family.

Sad news indeed and another loss to the soul scene.

First came across Ted and his fabulous sets in the early Prestatyn days in the Redemption Room. A lovely, kind, knowledgeable man who loved a colourful tie. Sadly he never got justice regarding the record theft.

R.i.p. Ted Massey

 

Personally, i met him first early 80's, busy collecting uk releases, bought a few off me. Think he was already djing for a while by then  but early days.

Ted scaled the heights essentially, on pretty much most of the platforms that count. He bulit himself a wonderfully colourful and intuitive collection of records, that cemented his reputation with the masses...much in the same way that he nurtured and cultivating his beloved garden...his other great past time....even the shirts showed him as an outgoing person...and he coloured our worlds with his dj sets.

I can't justify giving the people concerned who performed such an abhorrent act against him, any creedance other than to say...i sincerely hope you search your consciences.

It's a black day for us all, but in remembrance in coming days and weeks, we'll celebrate the life and accomplishments of this man and uphold nothing but good memories of him.

Gone before your time

May your soul now rest in eternal peace

 

God bless, Ted🙏

Very sad news. Ted was as nice a guy you could meet on the Soul scene. Always happy to chat about the music and records. He amassed a fabulous collection of brilliant sounds as those fortunate enough to witness him deejaying will testify. Ted’s contributions on Soul Source were always a joy to read such was his knowledge. Ted will be sorely missed in many ways…

So sad to read the news about the passing of Ted.  It was always a pleasure to be in his company.  He was a great DJ, collector and fellow soulie. You could always count on his support and he never let us down when he DJ'd regularly at Bidds all nighters and Stafford soul nights. A true gentleman.  May you rest in peace 🙏.
