Sorry to hear Deej past away last year,he was a real good guy.he was Lea Harts best friend and did all the recording and art work,for Lea (Barry) from his days with Slowbone and the Roll Ups.Peter Sarfas.who released some of the Slowbone album on his Pie Mash label.reminded me when i had a meeting with him this week.and as a tribute to Deej we may released some recordings of The Roll Ups,that Deej work on for me.When i took over the Bridge House in 1975.Slowbone played every Friday night,and the pub was packed every Gig.after about a year Barry became Lea,with a new line up and style of music and formed The Roll Ups.with his life long Bassis Jeff Peters.Lea hart is still in the music business.Managing ex Iron Maiden vocalist Paul Dianno.
Deej also did the art work on The Jab and Move Single,that son Glen recorded with the Repton Boxing Club.and can be viewed on the Bridge house DVD that has just been released..Deej we will not forget you.
