Jon Bus Stop Whaite has been around the soul funk scene

places. Runs a little disco emporium 'Bus Stop Records'
in Chorlton -"for all your funktual needs".
Loves to lord it over the rest of the funkademia stable
over his well homed mixing abilities over which he might
have a fair point but he can't drink to save his life.

the big city and becoming Lord Bus Stop of Cheshire.
Has a horrible habit of trying to drop a little sample
