John Mitchell (Satch) proper Padiham legend sadly passed away , what a character
RIP

Met Satch 1992/3 when I did some taxi driving for Blue Star cabs, Padiham. He had a regular gig, dj-ing at The Cattle Market. He could certainly tell a tale and he seemed to have a lot of tales to tell.

Never knew him personally but he was always on in the pubs of Padiham doing his turns.

Rest in peace

Certainly a character I only walked passed his house yesterday and thought I hadn't seen him for a while then woke up to the news he had passed away. RIP Satch

I thought the same thing last week.

RIP John. He was the man who drew people into the Miners, for the afternoon session of what was known as the Monday Club. He was a good singer and very good joke teller. Lots of people got up to sing, some good and some bad, but it was always a popular and well known afternoon out, thanks to Satch.

Is the Miners still going?

A true Padihamer, for sure.....Very few people in the area didn't know Satch.

RIP John.
