R.I.P Ian.....Never forget you mate.    Ray & Kim.

I think I first met Ian Gee at Annersley Miners Welfare Soul Night what now seems like a life time ago!!

In those days Ian was just a punter ,,, i used to see him arrive in his Crombie ,, Leather Coat or his Denim Jacket always very smart ,, dapper ,,, even sometimes a Tootal Kravat ALWAYS showing More that a Little Class,,

A really cool dancer to boot!!!

I remember he used to look up at me on the stage and i could see in his eyes he was gagging to behind the decks ,,, i just could tell...

Slowly but surely Ian amassed a huge collection of Fabulous Northern Soul Records ,,, mainly on Pristine White Demos ,,, with Ian it HAD to be the WHITE DEMO..!!

Ian started DJing!!!

Him and his mucker Carl Piper started running do s and before long Ian Gee The NSoul DJ was the guy ,,, everyone wanted at their dos around the East Mids and beyond,,,,

They DJ all over the place together and usually blew the Roof Of with their Up Tempo DJ Style ""

Eventually being a Resident DJ with Phil Armstrong Soul Over Easy Events!!

Over the years Ian and became good friends,,, although in later years we didnt see each other a lot ,,,, but when we did lots of hugs and long chats about the Scene and what records we had bought or sold,,,,

Tonight i learned that Ian has Passed away after fighting illness for a long time,,,

To say im gutted is a Total Understatement!!

Ian was always lovely to me ,,, we had a HUGE Mutual Respect for each other,,,,

I wish all his close family my Sincere Condolences and Respects!!

I will Miss You Greatly Ian Gee and along with a few I Will NEVER Forget You!!

RIP ,,, Sleep Well Now Bro,,,,

Soulful Love,,,,,, Nige B x

Only heard a short time ago,another sad loss for our scene,glad to have known you.R.I.P. Ian

Sad news indeed i never met Ian,he sounded like he was a good man 

R.I.P Ian Gee 

Condolences to his family & friends who knew him & loved him

atb Kev 

I first meet Ian at the early Skegness weekenders even shared an apartment with him at one of the Butlin's Soul weekends. I use to bump into Ian just about everywhere I went on the scene a few years not seen him for some time now. Ian did loved his old school Northern and as Nige said he loved WDJ promos always remember selling him a Philippine's WDJ promo of Undisputed Truth "You Got The Love I Need" he was chuffed to bits he was so proud of his records. 

Ian was proper Northern Soul character who will be greatly missed!   

A true Gent will be sadly missed.

Yes he was a really genuine bloke and i`m glad to have got to know him......... there are a lot of people who will miss him.

Rest in peace Ian 

Sad news what an nice chap..

Shocking news.

Very sad news. When Ian was DJing you knew you were in for a night of non stop dancing.

Edited February 19, 20169 yr by Millo

SAD news indeed.Saw him DJ several times.One of those old skool soul guys that have a certain X factor presence .Whatever he played he created an atmosphere in the room R.I.P

One of the great ambassadors of soul  will be sadly missed . RIP Ian 

RIP Ian... Definitely one of the the real ones!  Sad sad news.   

Respect and thoughts Pete & Elaine Dillon

We knew Ian in the late sixties he was a true friend and a gentleman lost touch then re kindled our friendship many years ago you could walk into a soul venue and knew Ian was on the decks the room was alive everyone dancing great nights and weekends together our family will sadly miss the the God father of. Soul rest now Ian take your time spin your favourites we are thinking of you Dek sue and family 

Saddened to hear the news of Ian's passing. Shocked and upset. He'll be missed by hundreds of soul fans. A warm, kind and gentle man, always pleased to see friends old and new. An absolute treasure never to be forgotten. Ian will have a special place in our hearts for the charitable fundraising he carried out in memory of Alison Parkinson. Our thoughts are with his family at this time. Ian was loved by the soul community for his dignity and generosity of spirit. He was also a top quality DJ who's headline was guaranteed to fill any venue. Rest in soulful peace.

Chris and Louise.

So very sad to hear of Ian's passing.

I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Ian as well as many of you did, but I did have the pleasure of listening to his spots and dancing to his well chosen, quality tunes (all of which were on the 'right' labels too).  I am saddened that none of us will be able to give him the resounding round of applause in future for a spot well thought out, well executed and well received.

My thoughts are with Ian's family and friends at this very sad time.

Chris

 

Sad day, another soul brother gone R.I.P Ian gee x
