Blimey. He was only posting on here recently wasn't he? I didn't know Steve but had bought records from him before. A thoroughly nice guy!

That's sad to hear, a bit of a character was Steve. 

Loved his records, and I always enjoyed our record talk when we met now and again.  Bought and sold some great sounds with him.

Just adding to what has already been said, Steve was a lovely bloke and to say this is a shock would be an understatement.

Condolences to Chris.

I knew steve for many years and he was a good mate who will be missed badly.

To say he knew his stuff was a understatement top draw and a true soul man.

RIP Mate.

Such sad news. Known Steve and Chris for many years, he had a great sense of humour and probably the best genuine Geordie accent ever. Bought many great records off Steve and yes he knew his stuff. Spent many a time with Steve at Prestatyn just chatting and looking through his sales boxes. He always had time for everyone. But really, what a sad sad loss. My sincere condolences to Chris and family.

R.I.P. steve, great bloke, will be really sadly missed on the scene..  RESPECT!!

Total shock, so upset by this extremely sad news. I have known Steve for many years and done lots of wheeling and dealing and he was indeed a true gent, who knew his stuff, always so nice to chat with him and he will be sadly missed by the soul family.  My condolences to Chris and family. Monster RESPECT!! R.I.P. Big Man!!

 

 Sad news ,we where on the same flight last year as Steve and Chris , new his stuff and shared a few beers over the years up and down the country, another good lad from the north east taken to early,COL

Completely missed this, absolutely shocked to hear Steve has gone.  I thought his recent sales where to pay for an all time biggie, it appears he may have had another motive.  An acquaintance for over 20 years of buying and selling between one another, in the early days when everyone picked up a phone rather than PM to crack a deal he was an absolute joy to talk to, knowledgeable, honest and funny, what a loss this is.  Thinking of Steve's family, God bless you.  Lee   

Absolutely gutted when Chris text me last week to see if I had heard the news about Steve when she told me I was numb and just cried I couldn't and still can't believe it Chris obviously is devastated and so are the rest of the family it's just heart-breaking. Had many a good time and such a laugh with Steve and Chris talking about records Newcastle brown and Geordi land in general such precious memories of a very special man who I know for sure will be very sadly missed. My love and thoughts go out to Chris and the family R.I.P. Steve top man indeed.

Just got to know this very minute I'm gutted haven't spoke to Steve for a while what a lovely unaseeming man good bless you Steve R.I.P 

I know this is very late , but had to write it anyway , when I landed at prestatyn last Friday ,first person  I bumped into was  tonge who told me the sad news , gutted is a understatement , was on my mind all weekend , I had never met steve until the first prestatyn and then we met up  every other one after that ,always made a point of spending time with him and often sold records to each other , he and chris were great fun and up for a laugh , I remember the time she was on crutches then don Thomas came on the decks and taz whipped her cruches and was dancing round like on the advert they were both highly amused , i'm glad tonge got to dj and dedicated steve's favourite song paul anka when we get there to him ,,,,,,,,,,,,,rip
