Wayoutgirl Posted April 17 Posted April 17 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.

Popular Post Agentsmith Posted April 17 Popular Post Posted April 17 (edited) 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 Edited April 17 by Agentsmith 13 1 1

He amassed a fabulous collection of brilliant sounds as those fortunate enough to witness him deejaying will testify.
