I have approached Kev Roberts about a benefit for Tony as he is already running big events in Blackpool. Judith has receommended that any funds raised should be given to Tony's daughter, Natalie, for safe keeping and used for meds, future care needs, etc. I also suggested a computor so that Tony can keep in touch with friends. I would certainly attend any benefit event and think it would be very well supported. Over to you Kev. DB.

Dave just had a chat with Rod Allsworth (Billy the Kid from the Mecca) we can source a venue in the Blackpool area for a charity event. Tony Jebb the first 'proper' Soul DJ. Regards Jimmy Scriv

Like EDDIE said, one of the men who became part of the permanent soundtrack to our lives and before a lot of us even knew his identity.....Can't believe it, spent a good forty minutes after the footall yesterday, downloading BOOKER T instrumentals, listened to them all night last night, woke up and saw this...A great loss to the music....

Very sad to hear this. He was in a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline.

Sad loss, he was a fantastic bass guitarist

Chalky, I'm buying you a sweet sherry (let's go crazy) next time I see you for these podcasts. Good man.

My son just emailed me the link to this. Tragic loss!

A sad loss, the essential powerhouse with Steve Cropper that stood cooly in the background while the singers strut their stuff. RIP.

RIP Donald, The MG's just won't be the same without you.

always thought the last tune played at the end of the wheel niters at whitworth st was ...the mood mosaics...a touch of velvet a sting of brass.....that from various wheel goers.
