    By all accounts he was a very decent guy all round. ‘Voices’ by Dario G is one of my ‘go to’ uplifting songs. Always come back to it. RIP

    Sad, far too young, an awful bloody disease. Leaves a wonderful legacy, but would be better if he was still here to create. RIP

    Heard he was a Crewe Alexandra fan and chose his scene name after Dario Gradi. RIP. Sunchyme (cover of Life in a Northern Town) such a catchy tune.
