It was great ask mad man he came too and we all had a laugh. Tom said it reminded him of the old days when he first started out doing discos, and Tom and Mad Man got drunk on champers and were sucking all the hellium out of ma ballons lol it is a memory i will always treasure as Tom didnt do private gigs just BIG sets and for him to do that for John and i was so nice of him. I LOVED HIM . He was so nice to eveyone and was the man that launched my partner JOHN WILSON as a dj. He aired Johns mixes on his show all the time and it got John big gigs all over the UK. TOM WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE HIM IN OUR HEARTS xxxxxxxxxx as for pics we never took any of tom just every1 dancing to his set, including ma dad lol raving to all his bouncing tunes hahaha i so wish we did now though as it would have been nice to get 1 up on the site. xxx Dee xxx ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ....................................................thanx to dee for the memory...................................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ .........................................................THE NEXT MEMORY IS FROM GRANT STOTT, COLLEAGUE AND FRIEND FROM RADIO FORTH. THIS COMMENT IS COURTESY OF WILKPEDIA................................................... ......................................................... Grant Stott recalled his first meeting with Tom, in 1990 when Grant was just six months in his radio career. He'd been moved from overnights on the AM station to the FM 10:00pm to 1:00am slot: '"This was a massive opportunity for me and to say I was a tad nervous about it would be a big understatement. I was sitting at my desk in the programming department thinking about how many pairs of pants I was going to get through that night, when I felt this arm around me. It was Tom. He gave me a quick pat on the back and said: "Welcome Aboard, mate!". My self confidence was, at that point, almost zero, so to get what seemed like a vote of acceptance from one of the "big boys" was a huge boost. I never told him how much those words meant to me that day.Over the years, our friendship grew through our mutual love of music and mutual dislike for each other's football teams. This was the man who left a can of Fosters on my desk the Monday after Hearts had beaten Hibernian in an Easter Road cup-tie. Wind-ups were common place. One of my favourites was when I got my studio assistant at the time, Helen, to phone him up while he was on-air, pretending to be a sweet Irish lass called Mary. She wanted to send all her love to her husband Joseph and their little puppy Jesus. Incredible, I know, but he bought it - hook, line, and sinker. I waited until he was reading it out on-air and then, through the glass, let him know it was a wind up. I daren't repeat what he called me, but he was so angry, he refused to pay for bacon rolls for a week. He had a few nicknames as well - Uncle Tom, Techno Tom and Tommy Tetley, inspired by a long-running promotion on his show. He had a few double-barrelled ones for me as well, mostly starting with "Hibby...................................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ...................................................AND K-KLASS....... much respect to you for keeping the memories alive. we came across Tom on many occasions as Scotland was such a hotbed for us and the last time we came across him was at Colorfest doing the Classics arena which would have been shortly before he passed away.
