Yup.

Died suddenly today apparently.

He was only 56...

I saw him DJ once at Junction 21 in Leicester.

The warm up DJ had smashed it and then AW came on and played a totally self-indulgent set of mainly rock-a-billy - totally emptied the club.

I must admit, I thought he was a knob.

But you can't take anything away from his earlier career: Junior Boys Own, Shoom, Sabres, Two Lone Swordsmen etc

Saw this. Wasn’t a fan, but too young. RIP

Seen him play a fair few times at his A Love From Outer Space night amongst others and he was a total class act each and every time.

A real loss - absolutely gutted. RIP.

I think this is more culturally relevant to us, a forum of middle-aged blokes.

A real loss. Screamadelica was more an Andrew Weatherall masterpiece than a Primal Scream one. RIP.

When I moved from free rave parties to clubs he was one of the first decent DJs at Golden in Hanley Stoke which at the time was a top top top place to go. 8-)

Massive shame.

Very sad. Still listen to bits of Haunted Dancehall these days. Very talented bloke.

In tribute to Andrew Weatherall, this week's Essential Mix was a replay of his mix from way back in 1993.

Enjoy...
