To say that I'm saddened by Brian's death us an understatement, he has been my friend, mentor and confidant for over 50 years. I first met Brian as a 16 year old at The Carlton Club in Warrington, along with another legend of our scene,Dave Langley, they both had time for a young obsessive soul fan and we became great friends from then on,he and his wife,Madelaine, were always happy to give me a lift here there and everywhere,St Ives was a regular trip as was Wirrina Stadium,along with many other places he was dj'ing at. We spent time at each other's houses,as I became a real grown up and he taught me so much about our music and regailed me with wonderful tales from his ever so colourful life... a legend is an oft used word these days,but in Brian's case it is the most fitting title for a man who had so much knowledge and so much time for everyone, rest in peace my great friend, your suffering is over, til we meet again,as you always said to me,' good night and God bless ', Cog.

Hiya, Do you still have Etta James for sale?,if so,how do I go about buying, not done so on this site before....I don't even know if you'll get this message!.. I'm from Widnes btw,so I could pick up,thanks Cog.

I was so very shocked and saddened when Steve Studge told me the news about Steven,I'd had no idea that he was ill. I first met him as a 16 year old at The Torch,but only got to know him well at The Casino,after he had moved up to Haydock to be with Julie. Always good company and a friend to be relied on in any situation. We spent a lot of time together at Newton Cricket Club modern nights and Morecambe Pier nighters,I was constantly amazed at what he knew and who he knew on the scene. He left Haydock and went back to Wolves,times changed and we lost touch,then,while working in Wolverhampton, he walked past me in The West End Club,we spoke hugged and then he said" I can sort some gear out for the weekend, fancy it?". We met quite a lot while I was there,had a great time and I will never forget him RIP Smokey, so long pal, COG😎
