    If you do know Ian, his single mindedness and determination will ensure that he'll make every effort, and more, to make a recovery. Pity the doctors & nurses though !

Yes its true he posted the news up himself on face book.    Paralysed down one side with no use of foot and hand.  Very sad News I wish him well and a speedy recovery. 

Bloody hell that`s a shock!........................no matter what you thought of Ian its still upsetting news.....and we share a middle name!

The brother-in-law had one a year ago and is still not good. My mother had one 20 odd years ago and she made a full (almost) recovery.

 

I wish him all the very best and hope he makes a swift and full recovery......Geoffrey :yes:

Also read his post about this. He says that he'd hoped to keep the news private, but had to confirm publicly to (my words) stop the gossip mongers once it had become widely known.

 

I echo the sentiments wishing him a speedy recovery.

It happened a few weeks ago. Ian kept it quiet as did his close friends, however someone got wind announcing it on Facebook.

Ian confirmed the story earlier today.

He asked me to cover for him at the Hammersmith Club on Sat Sept 6.

He's not in good shape that's for sure, although improving.

I am sure we all wish him a speedy recovery.

That is sad to hear. Whatever he thinks of this site and some of the people on it is irrelevant in the face of such a blow. Also have a great family friend who suffered one about three or fours years ago. The road to recovery has been a long and arduous one but it's amazing how the body can respond over time. Wish him all the very best for a speedy recovery. 

Sorry to hear this, Get well soon !

Don't really give a shit about the politics, you'll always be a hero of my early soul years.

Get well soon Ian

Sums it right up!

I hope you've got someone close that has patience Ian, that's all it takes, if someone is prepared to work with you on this you will recover, other's have done and you're strong enough willed to do so too. Just make sure you think positive. Get well soon.

Get well soon Ian if you read this.

 

He does read it Pete.......X Get well soon Ian...X Winners never quit...and quitters never win. You epitomise that mate...x Yup...and oddball....and like me Ian....the world...and scenes...need us...X Have a smooth recovery and a pleasure to know of you and have met you....X

So very true, without Ian and Colin Curtis the music we love today wouldn't be the same. A tough challenge ahead  but  people can make astonishing progress after a stroke so every best wish for a full recovery Ian.

Really sad news - Northern Soul and Soul music in general would not be the same without him - the list of classic tracks he has discovered for us all is endless - we all wish him a speedy and full recovery.

Very sad news ..The Highland Room was a great venue with a great dance floor for floaters like myself ... 

Went to the opening night of The Rocket as well...... as now I'm a southern softie....... and he was on top form ..

I've got my piece of Highland Room floor under my bed ... get well mate cause I want it signed now :)

 

The rights and wrongs of what his vision of the scene was, or is,  is of no consequence..   

Politics plays no part here  ..  

His name is entrenched in the Halls of Fame of Northern Soul ..and music in general except for maybe the productions with Dollar and fellow scouser Tiffany :( ...  

 

Liverpool Lads give you a big shout out mate ..  and a very speedy recovery ( one of us  made a full recovery from a stroke himself 7 years ago ... Steve , Phil and Mad Sam !!  )

Very sad news, get well soon Ian

Whatever you may think of Ian, he's a massive part of the soul scene and let's face it who ISN'T controversial? I hope he has a speedy recovery.

We wish you all the best on your recovery Ian, it will take time & is a slow process but it's amazing what is achievable, forget all the politics and name calling, as a person  we wish you well & as a Dj we thank you for what the Highland Room & the music you brought to us, did to our lifes, I know it changed mine & put me(and my Wife Gail) onto the path we still follow, this scene owes you a a pat on the back & a big Thank You. :hatsoff2:  :thumbsup: 

Spot & Gail. :shades: 

Get well soon Ian.

 

Cheers Jim.

:hatsoff2: Hi All.... I hope Ian makes a recovery from this sad event, & I wish him well, on behalf of all the lads from North Herts especially Mick Smith Big Clive & myself, we are thinking of you Ian :( DAVE K

Wishing you all the best Ian, get well soon. As Spot said, you were a huge influence to thousands like  me back at the Highland room & i treasure those memories .

On hearing news like this the politics gets rightly put aside and real life gets put into perspective.

Wishing you a speedy recovery, the scene will still be here when you're ready.

Echo previous statement re politics = meaningless at times like this. I was a regular visitor to the Highland Room in the mid 70s and although I didn't realise it at the time, those visits influenced the rest of my life, and the 2 blokes who were responsible were Ian & Colin. So fingers crossed for a speedy & full recovery.

Had a few silly run-ins with Ian on here in the past & i sort of regret them now, can't unfortunately turn the clock back but i can at least be better going forward.

Having dealt with death & serious illness in recent years in mine & Sam's family it makes you reappraise things & put things into perspective.

So as a fellow soul & Dr Who fan i really hope Ian makes a full recovery & can get back to living & enjoying his life to the full. x

Get well Ian, stay focused.

Get well soon Ian
