Ohhhh, that takes me right back.
I lived in Bristol in the early 90s and the Star & Garter was a hundred yards away and a great place for a lock-in. DJ Derek used to play there several nights a week. I couldn't believe that this wizened old little white fella, who looked like a council road sweeper or toilet attendant, played such a geat selection of ska, reggae, and rocksteady, and chatted freely in patois to the black guys.
DJ Derek is a proper one-off and I'm delighted to have met him.
DJ Derek images on Google - go on, look, if you don't know who he is you'll be surprised.
And there's a terrific little documentary about the man on Vimeo - part 1 and part 2 - lovely stuff.
EDIT : Arse, arse, and thrice arse - his last ever outdoor gig was ... yesterday :-(
EDIT 2 : Derek's own selection, as found on his Trojan compilation LP :-
