Oh dear dear this is such a shame. My heartfelt condolences go out to his freinds and family. Such a nice chap Glen was. Will pass on this news to friends in Congleton,who dont get on the internet, and who I know will be deeply saddened to hear this and am sure would like to pay their respect to Glen in some way.

bollox:lol:

fourthed---ıf thats a word hahaha Malc are you keepıng supple mate!!

I have every faith In Malcolm completing said task This will go down in the annals(have I spelt that right) The only prob is--which record to backdrop to. Little Richard '...........discuss it' could be a tad zealous April Steven perhaps..... 0r even jimmy radcliffe

As Ian says up there with the very best. The name Day (and indeed Ellis)at a nighter in the very early 70's meant you were where you want to be. No ifs or buts ----it wouldn't get any better. One enduring and may I say endearing moment from last year was the sight of Alan and Max(RIP) sitting at the top of the stairs getting a breather from the heat in there and having a good ole chinwag------fooking brilliant. I thought at the time--2 ex Cats DJ's together reminiscing . I wonder when the last time their paths had crossed????? ....oh and I owe Alan Day a tenner cos he said I hadn't changed much since back then lol. He did us all proud last year(big thnks to KR as well on that) and we look forward to welcoming him back to Tunstall again, one more time. Do you all remember him at the Up The Junction nighters also, in that glass DJ box(whatever it was)----quite a bizzarre place that!!

Now chaps less of the viagara talk----I had enough of that with Yorkshires Mr Crosby last week. Apparently we were talking to the MR BIG of the viagara world . ....Julie if you dont wanna keep hold of the prizes--then I can keep them at my house. Just --that we thought--you could make a splendid entrance with the prizes---you are the 'Queen' of the raffle fundraisers

cheers Mark.you're a gent

Thanks for taking the time to read this. We are busily trying to garner some raffle prizes for Torch 2010. so what we thought would be a good idea would be to get Keep on..etc signed by the man himself at Nuneaton on Saturday. So my plea is to anyone going to the nighter on Saturday --would some kind 'soul' be willing to donate a copy of NF Porter keep on Keeping on to us at Nuneaton --so I can get it signed on the night and I will frame it and it will go towrds the other raffle prizes we have for the Reunion. Hopefully this will help swell the coffers for the worthy causes we are supporting this year. I have had a word with Mark Freeman over it--and he is quite happy for us to get this done. Any offers of help would be greatly appreciated--and you can pm on here thanks very much Jez

perhaps Holiday Inn just by Brittania Stadium--about 5 mins tops in taxi

What a great idea Paul, and I'm sure many many DJ's up and down the land this weekend will take time out and dedicate a record to Mr Max Millward as a mark of respect to a man who without doubt helped shape the 'scene' in its infancy and touched so many people with his kindness,humility and great nature since then. A true gentlemen ,who was held in the highest esteem by those whose lives he touched-----that is the measure of the man. RIP and God bless you Max

Give Steve Proudlove a pm mate--he may know a man who knows a man

Gail and I send our condolences to his family at this sad,sad time. There are many many others better qualified than me to talk about Max, but as a naive snotty nosed kid late 60's into the 70's I can truly count on one hand the number of people in the midlands that formed the start of what we know now.His name is synonymous with northern soul in the Midlands. What sticks in my mind--and I remember it word for word, was when a group of aging men and women(who should know better) gathered on a damp october last year in a place called Hose st. The photographer beckoned to Max' hey mate with the cap on ,can you move nearer the group' Dave Evison immediately pipes up---'Hey that 's Blue Max!!! he's a legend' I am so proud and honoured to have known you my friend RIP Mr Millward
