I'm in pieces over this, He was such a bloody lovely bloke.

Here he is commanding the Shaky-o-Meter at the Prince Albert.

I'm going to play some Stereo MCs and some Tom Jones at the Effra Social tonight as a little tribute to a bloody wonderful man.

Me too.

RIP

Such a lovely bloke. Stalwart of the Albert and - bitd - the Queen's Head. Me and A will miss his kindness and humour.

The ceremony was lovely - hearing Rob from Alabama 3 backed by two female vocalists performing Green Grass of Him was almost more than I could bear.

He was such a fucking lovely bloke.
