Don't Ever Stop documentary on Tony de Vit and Larne's DJ Fergie.
Transcript
00:00You would know Tony in the first record, it was like a magic happened.
00:07Are we fans of Tony DeVe?
00:10We are, he's a god, we worship him.
00:12The most, to me, electrified DJ that has ever been on the planet.
00:17He was a young kid.
00:20Yeah, I thought to myself, yeah, this kid's got talent.
00:22Tony took a shine to him.
00:24I would be in the DJ booth and God love him, he never told me a ****.
00:28Okay, this is the Jupiter 8, which has got all those fabulous hoover noises that I like using.
00:37The harder, the better.
00:38Oh yeah, definitely.
00:40We were just mad about the music, mad about Tony.
00:46He said to me, Jane, I'm gay, and went.
00:48I thought, oh?
00:51You know, we just clicked.
00:52It's an attraction that you've sort of never had to anyone, especially another man.
00:56Yeah, I mean, everybody just thought I was with Tony Anand.
01:00You can't believe him.
01:04We loved and cared for each other.
01:05Just people having fun.
01:07He's on the front cover of every music magazine.
01:09He's the big new thing.
01:11But to be HIV positive, you were the scum of the earth.
01:16The rest of society didn't want to see you.
01:19And he wronged me then to tell me that he was positive.
01:22And...
01:23He wouldn't stop gigging.
01:33When he collapsed, he just wouldn't give up.
01:37That was the last time I'd seen him.
01:39It was like Princess Diana had died for us.
01:42Somebody was taken way, way too early.
01:45As an 18-year-old, you shouldn't have to experience that.
01:48But you don't leave someone like that.
01:50I've got a duty to look after this guy.
01:52It's what Tony set out to do.
01:54And now let's finish it.
01:55And we did.
01:58I don't think he's cheesed anybody's life more than mine.
02:01He's there.
02:02Watch it over.
