Manchester music institution. Said in another thread that when I was a kid I used to write in (sounds mad now that I’d hand write a letter, buy a stamp and take it to the post box to request a song!) and he’d give me a shout out on the radio. I’d tape it and take it into my mates at school!

What was it? Sunday nights, Key 103: House 20:00-21:00 and Hardcore 21:00-22:00?

Haha mad. I did some pirate radio in Hulme and the Moss in the early 90s and Stu’s shout outs were obviously a huge influence. And a good way to meet chicks for a young man

Wow that’s sad. So many lancashire clubs in the 90’s he used to play at. Angels, Peps, Monroe’s…. So many great memories. Added to that so many tapes in our cars with Stu, he was class.

Ascend In Peace to Rest In Beats, Stu

Wasn't my genre at all and didn't listen to a single show of his but that doesn't mean I wasn't aware that his shows were groundbreaking and he produced the soundtrack to a whole generation of Manchester youth.
RIP Stu

Used to have a pint with Stu in the early 80s in the Mid, West Didsbury. Lovely bloke who knew his music. RIP Stu.

Gutted. That was a shock seeing this thread. I used to listen to Buss Dis on a Sunday night.

Very sad.

Yeah he was a big mate of Fonso, the other Bullers and the whole MVITA crew from the Midland

Nice words mate. Similar to Tony the Greek who I would have as Peel’s equal for much of the 80s and 90s in terms of regional influence
