As noome else has said as yet Immensely sorry to hear that the owner of Records Revival, Scarborough,  Paul Toole aka Tooley, aka Pablo Mesqualito a big soul and beat dj and soul collector has passed away (July 30th) after illness that had dogged him this year, shortly after gigging at Glasto,   a very short while after undergoing  cancer surgery. 

I'm sure a lot of people will have met Paul en-route to niters on the East Coast for niters. Lots more details on his Facebook page.  We met 2 year ago, instant pals.. and he was kind and generous,  with a superb sense of humour.  

What a shame.

Known him years and spent many a night in Wigan record bar talking rubbish and having a laugh. He lived in Oldham then.

Only about a month ago corresponded with him on here and he seemed pretty upbeat.

As mentioned  above , Paul was very much a part of the Manchester / Wigan record bar crowd , always great company, and excited by his latest 45 aquisition .  Sad news . R.I.P.

We exchanged a lot of laughs about the scene in general,  only linked up 2 years ago, through the shop,  even losing his eye as he did this year was,  just yeah I'm gonna crack on,  I think,  by look of a couple of posts I missed,  Tooley was getting set to fly when he drove down to Glasto and djed. That was ending 25.6. and he died end of July. Huge respects to family and friends.  

Sorry to hear this. Remember him well from time spent in Manchester and at the Casino. He was a good lad. R.l.P. Tooley
