I had the great pleasure of working with him closely over the last couple of years for the next book project. A highly educated, approachable and genuinely interesting individual, who was intrigued by everything around him, whether it was music, arts, history or people and had a real curiosity about the soul scene in the UK and Europe. We had a meet-up (left of pic) a week before he passed away. RIP.
