Roy was my uncle, sadly no longer with us. I remember his record shop, it was primarily geared towards dance and club music because that’s the music he played as a DJ. One of his mixes can be found at Mixcloud, a mix tape he made in around 1986 when he was playing pop and underground HI-NRG of the time.
I always remember getting the EMI promo sampler CDs from him. He would get them in advance of releases and so I’d have certain new releases all on one CD, which was quite something in the age prior to the internet!
