Good old Russ, well done !

Hi all Just had a call from Melvin Davis to say he has heard that Cody Black has passed away More details when I get them, RIP Cody Tap to view this Soul Source News/Article in full

I've seen a couple of these and they don't "Jump", a MUST HAVE for any serious oldies DJ IMO. NICE RECORD Rob

He build that record box with the flashing LEDs, when you opened it it was full of batteries and gumph to make them work--with room for 5 records at the back !!! LEGEND !

John he DJs every month at Stewarts do at Shuttlewood, as far as I know he's still at the same address in Clowne, He bought the FIRST EVER ticket to ANY event at the refurbished Brid Spa (which happened to be a Brid #2 Weekender ticket) and see him very regularly around, although I think he missed Brid this time. Still the same ! Rob

R I P so sorry to hear this sad news
