Tributes have been flooding in for the Godfather of the Bristol music scene, DJ Superfly, on the eve of a celebration of his life on Saturday. Superfly was the first black presenter on BBC Radio Bristol and was a key figure in the growing music scene in Bristol in the 1970s and 80s.
The father of four’s real name was Mike Bernard, and in a varied and important career as a DJ, presenter, music producer and in television, he rubbed shoulders with everyone from Mary J Blige to Muhammad Ali and Eddie Murphy.
Mike sadly passed away at the age of 69 on March 15. On Saturday night, March 26, friends and family and leading figures in Bristol’s music scene are gathering at the Rose Green Centre in Whitehall to celebrate his life.
