Hi Dave, we don't have many details as yet, other than it was a drowning accident. Ben and Carmel brought a house in Spain which he was renovating. He loved the place and was looking forward to retiring there. all best sean

Hi Rob, thank you for your message. Ben was my best and closest friend, such a lovely man and genuine, true friend. we are devastated and just trying to come to terms with it. many thanks sean

It is with the greatest sadness that I am sharing the terrible news that Ben Lyle passed away last week in a accident in Spain. Ben was very well known and much loved on the London soul scene. Many of his friends will already know from Ben's Facebook page, where there are already many tributes and heart felt messages. I'm passing on the message here for anybody that is not on Facebook and knows Ben. Ben's got into northern as a young London mod in the 80s and soon was a familiar face at the 100 Club and many other clubs. Like many of us he had a spell away from the scene as live took over, however he returned to the scene a number of years ago, which is when I first met him. His passion for soul was enormous, as was his passion for life. He was a great dancer, and respected DJ and collector. He always had a smile and a warm welcome for his friends, and was such a lovely man and dear, dear friend. He will be missed missed terribly by all who knew him. Our thoughts are with his partner Carmel and his family. Please PM me if you knew Ben and would like to get in touch. With tears and sorrow, Sean and Talita.
