Bristol gig legend Big Jeff has been seriously injured in a fire at his home in Totterdown. The well-known figure, widely recognised as the city’s most prolific gig-goer, is being treated at a specialist burns unit in Swansea and said to be in a stable condition.
Full details of the fire are not currently known but the news is sure to send shockwaves through the Bristol music scene. As well as a popular fixture at Bristol gigs for many years, Big Jeff, 39, is also a talented artist and launched his first exhibition in the city last year.
Friends of Big Jeff - real name Jeff Johns - have already set up a playlist on Spotify called ‘Play a record for Big Jeff’. Jeff’s family has asked for people to keep Jeff in their thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.
