t0paz Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 As a regular Bristol gig goer I see Jeff around a lot. I hope he’s ok and makes a speedy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Oh man fingers crossed for him. I think anyone who follows live music in general at least knows of Jeff, and following him on Twitter has been a joy. Speedy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurzelcat Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Ah, so it's true, read something on a Facebook page a few days ago thought it was a wind up. Sad news, he'd be chuffed to know people were thinking of him, and news is spreading throughout music forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashl Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Made the NME https://www.nme.com/news/music/music-superfan-big-jeff-seriously-injured-in-fire-3246576 not that its quite as big these days but good work for a fan. Have come across him in Bristol a few times, last was at Dot to Dot last year where me and Big Jeff were queuing for the Thekla and everyone including me wanted him to get in to see the band we were all missing over us!

Lushroom Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Jeff will likely be in hospital for many months, and is currently unconscious receiving skin grafts and other procedures 😞 Keep him and his loved ones in your thoughts over the festival, and embody his love for the music at every set you go to 🤘 https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/family-music-fan-big-jeff-7228906 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingers_mark Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 So very sad. Hope he pulls through to full fitness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_man_joe Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Big Jeff is such a kind and friendly man. Has done more for the Bristol music scene than many. I distinctly remember him joining in a tipsy debate between my flatmate and I back at university ahead of Glasto about who was better: The Boss or Neil Young. He agreed with me (Neil Young). Hope the recovery is quick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Low Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Terribly sad news. Always see him about gigs in Bristol and festivals. Remember Fleet Foxes even knowing who he was in the crowd giving him a shout out. Hope he makes a speedy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepkittycaz Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Horrendous news. He's such a Bristol institution. I've never been fortunate enough to speak to him, but whenever I've spotted him at a gig in Bristol, it's reassurance that I'm at the right one!

Chowie Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 would be great to do something for the big man at the farm this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivalschools.price Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 I quite often go to gigs straight from work so am often one of the only people at the venue. As you can imagine, Jeff is always there early and we have a chat. His knowledge on music is absolutely incredible and he often watches more than one gig in a day. I’ve known him watch a live early session in somewhere like Rough Trade then watch the support band in one venue and the headliner in another haha. Fair play to him, he’s a top bloke and is absolutely obsessed with music. Get well Jeff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
