Jazz - had Rob dj at the fleet many times large shopping bags all over the place lol - great guy true soul old school legend - guess he was ahead of the game

A lot of Dj's now use the 35p bags from supermarkets, great for 45s and LP's - here's a happy Carl Fortum at the Fleet DJ'ing out of what looks like a Sainsbury's bag - the yellow and blue bags in the pictures below are Aldi - hope that helps

André Brasseur, (born 1939) is a Belgian keyboard player and organist. Brasseur has released many albums and singles in his own country, but internationally is best known for his double A sided single The Kid/Holiday, which was released on the CBS label in the UK. Though it never reached the UK charts, The Kid became popular in the famous Northern Soul venue The Twisted Wheel, based in Manchester, and DJ Noel Edmonds used Holiday as the theme tune to his Radio 1programme in the 1970s. In the same period at Radio Veronica, a Dutch pirate radio, DJ Lex Harding used The Kid as the opening sequence to his daily afternoon broadcast programme.

Dave's funeral is Tuesday 15th May Bretton Crematorium 12.30 Sat nav PE6 7JE then afterwards at Orton Hall Sat nav PE2 7DN

At 5:15 today Dave passed away peacefully in his sleep at home with Carol his wife at his side - my thoughts and prayers are with the family. I am sure there will be many more posts to follow but I thought I would throw my bit in: I first met Dave around 1980 / 81 he use to hang around with a guy from Peterborough called Soulie - they were like Soul twins wherever one was, the other one was close behind. - Dave use to help out in the early days set up the decks / speakers at the Wirrina all nighters by Peterborough Soul Club 1981, he was also involved in helping out at the East of England Sixties all nighters in the 80ts and the Dedicated Soul Club and Scooter club allnighters being a regular dj during the 80t's at The Fleet and Wirrina. Dave was also one of the co founding promoters who started the Soul Hole at the Post Office Club, and a regular DJ at the various Soul events in and around the Peterborough area. Dave was a major influence on the Peterborough Soul scene from the 1980ts through to the present day will he be missed YES - but certainly not forgotten. Dave on stage at The Fleet 2012 - Pint glass in hand PS - Dave's wife Carol, gave me permission to notify all.

Saw a tv show last last about people performing in Las Vegas - I googled the theatre and up pops - Little Anthony and Imperials - $30 a ticket

Twisted wheel sound really - use to play it at the northern soul / mod nights early 1980 / 81

I was there that night - deffo crap night I remember it well - there was no gear about people sitting all over the place.

I can only dream of people like that at The Fleet - we have a way of dealing with them lol

Many years ago when I moved I borrowed a lot of bread trays to move the records - then took the trays back - all you're records are valuable to you - so you should pack em and move them - any damage or breakages is down to you - good luck
