whitehorses   10 #148 Posted June 29, 2010 hi all i see you knew my dad dean kelly. i didn't actually know him very well. just remember a couple of occasions when i met him but was quite young. From the sound of it he was a real character. i had the chance to meet j j burnell from the stranglers this year. i was introduced by a bloke called shaggy (my dad called him spider) who knew my dad. he told me a couple of funny stories about my dad. nice to see people still remember him.  Hi, I guess you're trying to get to know more about your Dad now you're older. I knew him quite well, late seventies, early eighties.Obviously knew him from Limit days and hanging around town when we were all young. Although as you've probably heard, he had his crazy side, he also had a really soft nice side that people rarely saw, cos he didn't let them see. I guess you know he used to have a pet owl, Billy ?It was great! He let me stay at his bedsit a few times if I couldn't get home, or I'd gone to see one of his mates who was out. He could be quite protective if you were his friend. He'd be gobsmacked to think that all these years later I'd be talking to his son via pc !!

Bayern Blade   10 #153 Posted July 1, 2010 hi did you know him well..........  I knew him fairly well, first time I met him was July 1980 after a Stranglers gig at Manchester Apollo, we all had to doss in Manchester station until about 5am, I remember me and Tiny were chatting up a couple of punkettes from Widnes. In the four years or so after that I saw quite a bit of him either on Stranglers tours or in Sheffield. I remember after a gig in Bradford we booked a room at the bands hotel and about ten of us ended up dossing in it, at about 4am your dad had the bright idea of using the hotel swimming pool, we made a hell of a racket jumping in the pool and all got chucked out. Before one gig I was admiring a rubber skull mask in a shop window, me and Tiny went in a pub and Deano came in 5 minutes later. He'd just nicked the mask and flogged it me for a couple of quid ! I can remember a few stories about him, you never knew what he was going to do next ! It was JJ Burnel that told me he had died, when the Stranglers were touring over here years ago.
