Dear Soul Friends,

 

I wanted to share the sad news of the passing of a dear friend and soul fan - Frank 'Frankie' Harrington who left us last weekend.

 

Frankie was a genuine nice guy and became a friend to many on the respective Northern and Modern scenes.

 

Frankie spent much of his spare (and working) time as a London Black Cabbie picking vinyl, developing his taste and knowledge after growing up in Nottingham around the mid 70s Northern and Funk scene.

 

His family are aware of how much soul and his friends from the scene meant to him and wanted to share the details for his funeral:

 

Weds 24th July. Leaving at 11:30am from 53 Abbs Cross Lane, Hornchurch, RM12 4XL. Service at Midday at, Upminster Crematorium, Ockendon Road, RM14 2UY. Florist we are using is Tulipa 01708 477778

This came as a real shock. I didn't know Frank well, but he seemed like such a lovely man. 

Sad news  My sympathies and condolences to Frank's family and friends.

What can I say .......................Frankie was one of the most compassionate people i have ever met, not just with his friends but his family too...........I am going to miss him lots,even though I did`nt see frank for a while through his illness he always messaged me to let me know how he was doing .............He also put me onto some superb modern tracks and the one and only Dennis Taylor (not the snooker player lol ) Thankyou Frankie for your friendship over the years I`m going to miss you x

 

Go now and educate the Angels 

 

Nite and god bless you
