Happy 75th birthday to a man who changed my life by giving me a job in the most important Record shop in Irish clubbing history ...

Billy Murray of Abbey Discs

The connections I made from working there led to so many opportunities ... and two life long friendships

Have a good one my Rave Uncle ❤️

** Tony Langsford's Dublin celebration **

Tony's wife, Laura, will be home in Dublin this Friday September 26th with Tony's ashes and a chance for his Irish friends to raise a glass to him

WHERE: The Red Cow Lounge for all from 7PM till 9PM for anyone who wishes to come along that may not be able to make the club night

Here's some more details from Laura:

"After the lounge, we are then moving onto the over 30's Night in Club Diva which has been very kindly arranged by past friends Raymond O Connor and DJs who have previously worked with Tony that Laura and Tony's family are extremely grateful for.

There is tickets available through the link below and will also be available on the evening at the door.

We hope as many can come and celebrate the life of Tony on the night catch up together and make it another fantastic night to remember.

Thank you all again so much for everything ❤️"

______________________

So, even if you can't make the club night from 9pm, you're more than welcome to celebrate Tony's life in the lounge from 7pm

I'm currently traveling South America so can't make it - but I'll be there in spirit

We miss you buddy x

Here's what I've been told about Tony Langsford's funeral service this Saturday:

It will be streamed from a Fuerteventura crematorium from 1pm sharp - at the moment Irish time is the same as Fuerteventura time

Here's how to view it:

1 - Search for the "Sun, Sea, Caleta" group on Facebook (see first pic below 👇)

2 - In your reasons for joining the group, just put "Tony" and the group Admin will accept you

3 - Look for the group Admin - Mark Whitty Pecks - doing a live video in the group on Saturday

I'm presuming this will be a phone on a tripod and he will start this a little before 1pm on Saturday

Many thanks to his Fuerteventura friends for organizing the stream

Please spread the word on Socials

Thanks

Sleep well Tony Langsford - a gem of a lad with a love of Rave and Radio running through his veins

We were sending each other voice notes as recently as Monday - and I was hoping we'd have another long phone chat (like we did a few weeks ago)

From Kiss 103, Pulse 103, Q95, Hot 107 to running his own Dance stations and everything in between - Tony was an Irish Dance Radio legend

Many years ago - maybe 1999 - Tony and I were talking about going halves on setting up a Radio station in Gran Canaria (at the time you could buy a Radio license there and do it legally)

I ultimately chose to stay in Dublin, but Tony pushed ahead with it and was a huge success there. I'll link a vid below of his Gran Canaria station - with Tony's great voice shining through on a promo Ad

In the DJ business I always say you have dozens and dozens of colleagues - but just a handful or so of real friends. Tony was a friend - someone I've had hours of great conversations with over the years

I would be doing my exercise walks in the Phoenix Park on the phone to him, he'd be sipping on a beer in his new home in Fuerteventura watching the sun go down - and, in between, we'd talk about everything from Radio, music and him convincing me to move over there too

I'm glad he got to live his last few years in the sunshine with both his amazing wife Laura and his pirate Radio buddy - Gary Cruise

A few weeks ago, when I knew he hadn't much time left, I sent him 15 or so questions about his long DJ history

The aim was to help put together a "Rave and Radio" eulogy - filling in the gaps of the many stations he worked on, his favourite gigs etc

Unfortunately, his illness was too bad to complete it. I think it was affecting his memory, among many things

But - thankfully - his friends and family are lighting up social media with stories about Tony and a lot of those questions are being answered, with tales of Tony's many Radio and Club escapades

There's been so many tributes already, with many thanking Tony for training them in on Radio mixing desks (that was a lovely few words from Dec Pierce) and others thanking Tony for their start in the industry

I'm also glad Dean Sherry once interviewed Tony on Phever FM in 2017 - asking him about his history in the DJ business

The interview (which I'll link below) actually answers many of those 15 questions I sent to Tony. It's a great listen that encapsulates the passion Tony had for the business

We will miss your cheekiness, your chats and your passion for all things Radio and Rave, Tony

Have a nice sleep buddy ❤️

I'm lucky to have a DJ career going back to when I was 15 years old (and a couple of years before that as a DJ helper)

And although there's been some pauses along the way - including long term solo travel, surgery and a pandemic - it's still something I love to do

When I started DJing as a kid it was for the love of music and making people dance

Thankfully, all these years later, both of these passions are still with me

Whether it's playing to a thousand people on a Dubai beach like I have in the past .... or to a few people at a cafe rave in Buenos Aires ..... I will always give a gig a thousand percent

It's what this amazing profession deserves

Pic 1 - DJing last night at Tuo Tempo cafe for Miraconamor in Buenos Aires (my 6th country to DJ in)

Pic 2 - Where it all began - terrible shirts, early Rave and Dunard Disco

Pic 3 - Me and Da - my first DJ roadie. I've had some lovely dreams about him since he passed last January ....... and in around 70% of them he's standing beside me in a DJ box

I think there's something to that

PS: thanks for the pic

And it was lovely to meet you too Lorena .exe and

PPS:

I played loads of Irish edits at the gig - thanks for the tunes and

ok.ok

He was a fantastic DJ, entrepreneur (from his mixtape shop in the Abbey Mall, music fanzine, club nights, record pressing business and more) and just an all round sound, dapper DUDE

The first dance music piece I ever wrote was for Hugh's fanzine way back in the day, maybe 1996 - and even back then he was trying to push the Irish club scene higher

Sleep well Hugh Scully - you left your mark and then some ❤️
