John Weller was such a cool dad!

John passed away after a long illness.

The song is The Ruts - Staring at the rude boys

RUDI were the support act on the previous night and thought they were on second too.

Good old Bingley Hall, Birmingham.Me and my bro went to the previous nights gig on a friday.I remember my bro losing one of his bowling shoes in the mosh pit and i had to prevent him from dissapearing to the floor looking for it.I told him to wait till the end to l look for it,we did and there were about twenty other lads doing the same thing.

I was there... :-) my first ever gig....went with my older cousins, and saw them at Deeside Ice rink as well.....1982 I think...fantastic memories that will live with me for ever.

john is a part of our youth god bless him

[jasonscottterry]

the song playing is called staring at the rude boys by the ruts, it was nearly always the last song played before the jam took the stage :)

RIP BIG JW!! A GREAT FUCKING BLOKE!

His Dad let me into The George Hotel in Edinburgh and got all my albums signed, and a couple of pics. The man was a gent and always had time for the people who put his son where he is today......., But some great tunes also helped. RIP JW.

I met John Years ago and He had not the Slightest Pretence about Him.

He was an Honest Man who Put his family First always and Encouraged the Talent that Burned So Brightly In His Son!

It was never anything to do with How much money You have.

It was all about how much You truly Cared and Wouldn't let Lifes Blows Numb Your Soul.

When We stop Dreaming We start Fading away!

I am a far Richer Person For Being lucky enough to Know John Weller!

How could Something Special Not Come out Of Him!
