“Just found out via my sister in law about Ian,so sad as he was a really lovely guy,I once worked for him when he was the landlord of the star inn in hulme,also bumped into him when he was djing in levenshulme,I feel so sad that he has passed away but what a fantastic send off he had by the sounds of it,can't believe he was that age as he never looked 'old' bless him,what a lovely lovely guy”
