I have been asked by Pete Triska to share this poem on Soul-Source. Love and miss you always, Sue xxx SUSAN TRISKA – QUEEN OF OUR SCENE Sue, you’ll be so sadly missed By Soulies far and wide; For your sunny smile, and skippy dance And from a camera we couldn’t hide Our weekends now, will never be the same A vision of your dance, in line Your re-assuring hug and familiar name Will always stand the test of time Such passion for our Music You’ve shared for many years A Dj’s dream, and Clubs’ esteem Sure, there’ll be many tears What treasured memories You helped us build, so selflessly you shared In the Gallery on Soul-Source And Facebook, to show you cared Your Memory will live on and on And never fade away, Just keep on your ‘Dance’ in time and space ‘Til we meet again someday.

I have been asked by Pete Triska to post the following on this page: 'Many Thanks for all of the kind & wonderful words. I explained to Robert & Kevin how loved and popular their mum was, now I think they know how much she was loved by you all, and she loved all of you too. When it's safe there WILL be a memorial do/ event for Susan, her ashes will be present. As for the funeral, I reaffirm only closest family will be present, and the time/ location will not be revealed until after, as I know how much she meant to so many of you and I can NOT risk a sizeable turnout for safety reasons. Susan would not have wanted to risk a single Covid case occurring as a result of her. I've sorted flowers for the hearse to read "Susan" "Mum" and "Soul Sister" other than that, please don't get/ send flowers instead I urge you to consider a donation to the Motor Neuron Disease Association. https://www.mndassociation.org/get-involved/donations/ Thank you once more for all tributes and for all the support throughout this terrible time. Thank you for the love and friendship you showed to Susan. My best wishes to all of you, Stay safe Peter, and our dear sons, Robert and Kevin. xxx'

Very sad news, a true gent. RIP Mr Gee xxxxx Sue and Les

Thinking of you on your Birthday today 9th March, Carole XXX

Couldn't agree more, Sue - and cracking little venue - perfect for underplayed!

I'd like to take a look at those pics some time Dave. Let me know when you and Kegsy are next out...

Yes, that's very true of her - Carole didn't 'wrap owt up' you knew where you stood. Like that in a person - no bullshit.

It was with great sadness I learnt of Carole's passing last night. She was my best friend at school and we went through the Casino years together. I have many photos from the holidays we went on - the summer of 76 springs to mind, truckin' down to the beach at Abersoch with our tape blaring with Northern sounds and sunbathers giving us some strange looks! We also went to Newquay together, one of Carole's favourite places and attended the soul nights there. Over the years, when I got married and had the kids (leaving 'the Scene' as many of us did), we drifted apart, but I know Carole stayed true to her love of The Scene and we kept in touch from time to time with the odd phone call and cards. She was always there for me: when I lost my daughter, which incidentally was on Carole's Birthday (9th March), she got in touch to offer support and attended the funeral - she wrote a lovely letter of condolence and I still have it today, along with many of Carole's postcards, and other letters keeping me updated on her travels in Cornwall over the years and what her current 'fave sounds' were. About 15 years ago, or maybe a bit longer now, she put me up at hers when we visited King Georges Hall, together for a Soul nite and catch up. I remember walking into the Windsor Street to the sounds of James Fountain and realised I had 'returned home'. Since then, the rest is history. So thanks Carole for being a dear friend. We had our ups and downs together, that's for sure, and sometimes you were hard to reach out to. You were caring, comical and often complex but were always there for me no matter what. It's a times like this I wish we had stayed a bit closer, but hindsight is a wonderful thing. What with other recent passings, it does makes you stop an ponder your own mortality and to make the most of what we have and to give the time to friends who deserve it. RIP dear friend I will never forget you. XXX Sue
