leigh white Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Been dead a while now nearly 17 years, when I was in my early teens I thought the music he played in the late 60s was shite, then he moved on from the prog scene and started airing punk bands on his show in 76, the man was always open to anything what folk sent him on a tape. One group he plugged was these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimron Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 He was the big supporter of new music in the 70s, I used to listen to him all of the time. We went to a Status Quo concert at Cardiff Castle (1975?) where he was the compere and we bumped into him in a late night curry house after, he invited us to join him as he was dining alone and we had a good criach. He also used to DJ at BIT every term in those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted March 10, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted March 10, 2021 Loved his show. Bloke was a one off. I do like Marc Riley though, listen to his show as much as I can. In time, he’ll be the next Peel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Remember him relentlessly playing Teenage Kicks and plugging The Undertones and SLF in particular. He also really went for this which is one of my favourite songs of all time..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
