Ian Parker

a GIant has left us. saddened as always, when we lose a friend, but QJ left a legacy that is hard to top . RIP Mr Jones

i missed those. only remember the main ballroom. bodies and bags everywhere

peterborough (various) , Stafford, Clifton hall, Alfreton, Hinckley, Loughboro, Oddfellows..... the early 80's were a whirlwind of venues. ive forgotten more than i remember. some great nights. especially places like oddfellows, that had one room , playing everything, from wheel oldies, to present day releases . superb memories!

Blimey. we had a punch up in Nottm palais, still got a lump on back of my hand, where a shoe hit me. we had to leg it, whilst the bouncers held the instigators at the door (they were clearly out for aggro) i also saw another fight, at St Ives, one of the pugilists is on here, he shall remain nameless

if its any consolation... i played (at a very well known oldies event) Such misery - the precisions. yup, tumbleweed ! happens to everyone, at some point. any 'DJ' with an ounce of sense, should be able to judge a dancefloor, so out came: 'if this is love' that sorted it

John E Paul : flip it, for aural delight.

very Sad... i went (alone) to watch MAZE, Rock City , Nottm (none of my mates had heard of him/them). was blown away by the musicianship, the songs, the voice, the soul. had to go again, 'back in stride' tour at Hammersmith... that time, 4 of us went, all 4 of us, lifelong Frankie Beverly fans. impossible songs to cover, even play along to, such is the musical genius of the man. a true giant of our time. RIP friend

after the laughter, brilliant !

Saw the guy live, 82/83 (long time ago). He was electric!! Fabulous gig, stand out for me , was 'there was a time' but my guilty pleasure, is Get down. Lots and lots of fabulous records, difficult to choose one.

omnium, absolutely no idea what goes on? Been watching the cycling a lot, but that beats me.

Loved it up to now.. just watched GB get another gold in the boulder climbing. The Olympic games, are something I'll never tire of.

more sad news. RIP friend.
