Pete S Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 That's a fantastic response Pete! But if you're reading this for the first time, don't think that all is OK now - I don't know the guy but by all accounts Fingers has had the bailiffs around and loses his house on 4th Jan. Keep it coming. NOT IF WE CAN HELP IT Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Stevie Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) Similar story to Harry and Mace.... Couple of years ago Johnny was djing and played a record I hadn't heard before. When I asked him about it afterwards he told me it was The Hi Tensions - So Far Away. Before he left he gave me the record. This was the first time I'd met him and I was deeply touched by his generosity, so it does my heart good to see such a response for one of life's good guys..

Raym Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hi Pete, Paypal sent. Johnny is one of the great guys on the scene. Have heard many stories about him going out of his way to help others. He would even personally deliver records if you lived local(ish) that you had brought from him. It was also a pleasure to have him as our guest DJ a couple of months ago at 'The City'. Thanks for bringing this up on this forum Pete. Ray Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Wilxy Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) Pete, There are some superb people on this site, who disclaim credit for their thoughtfulness and sincerity, for which this world would be a much better place if multiplied! Credit to you for recognising John's plight, whom I hold in very high regard and without realising the seriousness of his personal situation to such degree! I hope that your kind request has sufficient effect and has the desired outcome, so have replied accordingly....Best wishes wilxy Edited December 24, 2009 by wilxy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
