On facebook now that Paul has passed away,so sad,known him for many years,what a lovely guy RIP Soulman. xx

Paul
There’s a new soul dancer in heaven tonight
Spinning so fast he’s a star burning bright
So much soul, and so much love came his way
A true Soulman, he live...d soul each & every day
He amazed as he span, he danced and he moved
An icon of the floor he laid down his groove
So sad that we’ve lost him much much too soon
But… hey was that him spinning in the corner of the room?
Forever on the dancefloor he will always be
In our memories still young, soulful and carefree
And for those whom he loved and left behind
For them …… “someday the sun will shine”

For Cazi who loved him to the last …..

Lovely words Kegsey, Sue and Les x

Such sad news. Really, really nice fella

I didn't know Paul personally but from everyone's description I knew who it was who has sadly passed away. The first time I ever saw Paul spinning I was blown away, amazing!!

My Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Hi folks

Update on the funeral (Thursday)

Carole has asked no flowers please - donations preferred to Willow Wood Hospice, Ashton under Lyne

They looked after him so well at the end...

Would just like to share this.. one time at middleton niter i found my self dancing next to Paul ,Fabulas Peps on the decks ,with these eyes, just as the record reached its crescendo we both launched into a spin, both slamed brakes on at the same time , eye contact made, a nod,a touch of hands, a special feeling i can't put into words...i'll wear the floor out at Brid ,not just for Paul but for all soulies that are no longer with us.ktf. Martin.

Hi folks

There will be an informal gathering of Paul's soulie mates at The Wharf, Stalybridge, SK15 1PD today after the funeral

All welcome - we'll be there for a few hours!

Paul was one of the first people we met after getting back into the scene along with Carole, i think it must have been Hollingwood, those Bi monthly nights run by Jonah n Dave " Two Bald Blokes" and we have been friends since. Always a big smile and a very damp hand shake when ever we met up. Lots of happy memories as you all have of a true soul gent who loved his music which has brought us all together. 

RIP Deano you wlill be sadly missed by all who had the pleasure of your company over the years. 

Our  thoughts go out to His family and of course Carole
