This is a nice tribute to DJ Derek (of whose work I'm completely ignorant, but he does seem to have been an excellent man):

He was awesome. This film about him is great - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/2gGvzXB8nJW6pGYQwLjlnfk/sweet-memories-a-tribute-to-the-unique-dj-derek

Last saw him about 10 years ago playing in a pub in Peckham.

Too much talking over the music. :)

No, a great little film. I liked the dark, allusive style in which they filmed it. People didn't half smoke a bit in those days.

It did make me wonder if that bloke ever got to make Derek some shoes.
