Sad to report the passing of Whitby Pavilion co-promoter and Northern Soul legend
SNOWY RIP
BILL SNOW Rest in Peace
One of the hardest announcements I am likely to make in my lifetime……..the passing of Doncaster & Northern Soul legend ‘Snowy’
My sincerest condolences to his wife Lynn, sons William & Josh, stepchildren and grandchildren.
Bill was a legend in South Yorkshire who promoted Soul & Motown nights throughout his life and of course his involvement with the success at Whitby Pavilion.
I first came across this very handsome kid in December, 1972 at the Torch, Tunstall. I seem to think it was the Edwin Starr gig and we both had records for sale. That was the start of a lifelong connection and friendship.
His early days were consumed in Soul while having to fight off the opposite sex with his David Essex/David Cassidy looks…….he had a very jealous DJ friend, who only had a record box as female company!
A very talented fella and great company……..hopefully my lighting the touch paper to ‘this boys life’ will deliver plenty of great stories from dear friends and colleagues.
I will need consoling at Whitby this weekend.
We all take bereavement very differently, my first outburst is yet to come…….best check out for now.
A terrible loss to our family and heartbreaking for me. Love you pal xxxxxx
