Hi you two.

It just wont sink in...another empty chair around the soul table.

Can't believe I'm reading this......absolutely stunned.

Great bloke with a fantastic taste in music.

My deepest sympathy to his family.

Maybe 2006 ain't gonna be such a good year after all..............

Shit, Only just got to know the bloke, Put me right on a few things and allways answerd any questions I asked him reguarding Soul Music No matter how mundane,Shared a lift with him & Christine to wilton on my last few visits. Top guy all round.

My deepest sympathy to Christine and his family

My Thoughts & Prayers are with his Family & Close friends John was a smashing

bloke and will be missed greatly by everyone who knew him..........

God Bless

Ian Cunliffe & Family

Spent many a night travelling with him to various nighters up down the country, trying to out do each other with who could do the best tape for the car. If you needed something and he could help he`d go out of his way to do so.

I used to love how when we`d be at a soul night with no plans to go anywhere after him and my missus would scheme to get me to take us all to a nighter. "were off to such and such a place" he`d say "oh yeah, how you gettin there" ide reply, "Denise says your taking us", big grin all over his face

A real character and good friend, my thoughts are with Christine,very very sad news,

What sad news. Fond memories of a very knowledgeable and likeable soul dude, many's a time he'd have the speaker phone on playing sounds to me and shouting of their qualities, hadn't seen him in a while due to other commitments at home but will be missed hugely by myself and the northern scene.

Condolences to Christine, family and close friends. It will be weird not seeing John at Wilton in a few weeks time.

Thinking of you,

Kirsty and Michael

joined to try and say something when i heard, gutted , ezzie

I'm totally lost for words, i simply can't find the words to say how so very sad i am to hear this news, John was a top bloke and i'm so glad i knew him, he was a one off true original always supported our Allnighters way back in the early 90's, had a good ear for a good record and he will be sadly missed, i'm stunned.........

Our thoughts are with Christine and John's family at this very sad time.

Mark and Jacqui Bicknell.

Spoke to John,only the other day,i`m gutted!!,

Such Sad news to hear of Little John, please give Christine all our love and tell her we are thinking about her and the family at this time.

Dawn and the East Lincoln Soul Club crew.

What a terrible loss

Very sad ....... best to his family x

Little John, the "Mexican Bandit" as Jo and I affectionatly refered to him, was one of the scenes last remaining 'true' characters. A great bloke, had many a natter with him at the Wilton, and other venues over the years. R.I.P. John, the scenes loss is Heavens gain.

He was one of the characters from the scene. Deepest sympathy to Christine.

The Wilton wont be the same without him, first Ian & now him, very sad.

Very sad to hear the news of Johns death.

A genuine lovely guy,always enthusiastic,loved the music,could be very funny as well,loved his T shirts,the blazer,and one year a fabulous snowman jumper!!! Knew his stuff,introduced me to a good few records (esp Linda Hopkins stuff!!) Very very good DJ as well,Ill miss seeing his chubby little face.

Deepest sympathys to Christine from The Elephants of Soul.

I recognise him from the photograph and I've spoken to him at a venue somewhere, quite some time ago.

Deepest sympathies go out to all his family and close friends, as well as those of you here on Soul Source who were close to him.

I don't know what tunes he was into most but I've picked Man Of Value by the Del Royals and playing it in his memory.

God rest John,

I hope you find peace

and I'll catch you again soon bro on the big dancefloor.

Just a quickie to let you know.

Although I've not seen him for a short while, I can only add what Graham has said. Those obscure tips he used to pass on and those bags of sweets him and Christine pitched up at the Wilton with. A great character, in a world short of them, he'll be missed by many. Best wishes from the rest of the Herd

I'm no good at these things and I was really shocked to learn of LJ's death - blimey I was only talking to him at the Wilton last november! He'd been after a record for years that I'd taped for him and I didnt know he was still chasing it. Had a spare in my sales box that I'd just sold earlier that night oops! He was always pestering me to sell him 2 records out of my collection (good man). Struth, its only a few weeks ago that he rang me to play some records down the phone. We would've had numerous chats at the forthcoming Wilton - hell he won't be there!

If Boxy/Mouse is reading this can we have a minutes silence or something in rememberance at the wilton on the 20th?
