I know many on here are regular gig goers, and it’s quite possible they’ve been at gigs where Big Jeff has been in the audience. He’s been at gigs in and around Bristol for many years, and I’ve got to know him quite well, so I was really shocked to read this just a few minutes ago; he’s been seriously injured in a fire at his home, and is now in a specialist burns unit. ☹️

Oh Cripes. He’s been at so many gigs I’ve gone to over the years. Hope he makes it out the other side ok. 😞
Same.. you can always see his big mop of hair moshing at the front. He's the barometer of whether you're at the best gig in Bristol that night. Get well soon Big Jeff.
Speaking of Bristol and music characters, did they ever figure out what happened to DJ Derek ?

Not sure of the details, but I think a body was found eventually.
Argh this is crap. Always brings a smile to see Jeff giving it 110% at the front, he was over in Cardiff in March for the Scalping gig giving it full force. Hope he recovers ok.
Ah that's awful news. Always a concern when you go to a gig and he's gone somewhere else!
Good that he is in a stable condition, big healing vibes for his recovery.
