Handle id #8069 : Derbyshire Ram
I'm sorry to have to tell you all that Derbyshire Ram (Barry), former member of groups like Dominators, Illusion and Avantgarde passed away peacefully at his home early on Sunday morning, 27th of May.
He has been so brave and fought cancer with every bit of effort he could find for four years. Right up until the Saturday evening prior was he sitting in his chair with all his children around him.
Rest in peace old friend. |

Goodbye to a good old friend in the scene, which I had contact to from 1988 till he passed away.
He was one of the greatest guys in the scene ever. Everyone here will surely agree with me on this. |

This is awfull. One of my best scene friends ever, passed away. Barry, you was a very special person for me. Long letters, long phonecalls. I nearly had to break your arm, to get you into DOM, as you ment you were not worthy. You became a true Dominator. God bless you and your family, you will always be among us. Rest in peace, we will miss you. |

:( This is terrible! And as if it was a big bad joke i just read an interview (scene world #8, AFAIR) with him yesterday. ...
I never talked to him. but to me he was an institution. he has always been there, from the days I entered the scene till today! What a great loss!

I've never been in contact with Derbyshire Ram and could only "envy" to Manik who has been swapping with him in past, but I've always taking his presence in the scene granted the same way that we count on on presence of our parents. I perceived him as an icon and authority and it was quite a shock seeing this in the todays news post ;((
rest in peace, derby,

This is very sad news indeed. I can still remember the first time Barry called me and asked if I could send him new releases that he'd distribute for us.
We used to get loads of calls like this and I guess I was lucky that on this occassion I agreed to do it, must have been 20 years ago.
Barry was true to his word and spread the new releases far and wide very quickly. It got to the stage that the first thing I'd do when cracking/downloading anything was to send it to Barry and let him do the rest.
RIP Barry, you were a true gentleman.

Peace be upon you Barry,
He was an exceptional chap; he would always encourage me not to quit the scene and never to give up on mankind. You will be in my thoughts.
I only partly remember his address but I will still like to send a condolences card, if this would be ok with his family. |
