“His knowledge of music was huge, he was happy to share it. After each conversation with him, I felt inspired and happy,” writes Hot Dub Time Machine on Facebook. Over the years, Bell was not only a beloved DJ and photographer, but also a pop culture expert, record store owner and music critic.
According to dailymail.co.uk, Bell began his career in the 1980s and will be remembered as a versatile DJ. He played clubs like Limb, Heaven and even opened his own live music venue. He died on May 2 of a heart attack. The tragedy happened in Paris, which was the first stop on the artist’s vacation, which he spent with his family. As part of the trip, Bell was also supposed to visit Liverpool, where he planned to see the Eurovision Song Contest with his own eyes.
Musician Andrew P Street described Bell as “one of the most wonderful, kindest and most enthusiastic people I’ve ever met”. He admitted that many friendships, love and relationships started thanks to him on the boards of local clubs. The owner of one, Jet Armstrong, called Bell “a true pioneer” in his trade. In turn, Deb Edwards, a former employee of EMI and Sony labels, pointed out that there would be no other person like Bell and that meeting him and exchanging musical experiences was a real blessing for her.
