Re the Joseph Wright who painted the picture of Aston Hall, I wondered about him too and looked to see if I could find some information but, as you say, the artist of the same name from Derby is the one that keeps coming up. I don't think it's the same person as the style of his painting was...

I remember DJ Emperor Rosko very well (real name Mike Pasternak, son of the Hollywood film producer Joe) I liked the sort of music he played on the radio. I didn't know he made any records himself, I can't find the actual music sound but this is a photo of the disc...

That building became the Elbow Room club I think?
