Re: Steve Wright R2

Another bites the dust, a very good DJ, starting to feel the grim reaper on my shoulder.

R.I.P.

I am 5 months older than he was

I have already felt the grim reaper on my shoulder. On August 15th 2022 when I had my cardiac arrest!

He can wait for a few years now.

I hope!

Re: Steve Wright R2

I couldn't listen to him. He had a habit of allowing just one verse and chorus of a song, then talking over the rest.

I had heard that most (maybe all) of the jingles used on his show were written by him. He'd earn royalties every time they were used and it was in his contract that they had to be used every show.

Chris Moyles used to do that

I couldn't stand listening to him either. Radio 2 should be blown up, shot down,burnt down.......whatever it takes.....

He played shite music (as has every daytime Radio 1 DJ with the exception of the great Johnnie Walker - maybe a bit before your time Eric?). However, iI loved his sense of humour. His show was worth listening to for that alone.

I'm sure he was innovative, which most tributes claim. I'd never heard a dj like him. It wasn't an innovation I appreciated though. It only had a loose relationship with music. And I find music is quite an important aspect of a music radio station. It's obviously sad he has died but he was by some distance the worst dj I've ever come across.

Re: Steve Wright R2

Believe me, when your working day included having the Mike Read, Simon Bates, Gary Davies and Steve Wright shows on in the background, you really looked forward to the latter coming on.

Must say mind I agree with Soul 68 about Johnnie Walker, used to love his lunchtime show.

I remember Johnnie Walker covering for Terry Wigan and I was amazed when he played Toots and the Maytals cover of Country Roads one day. Used to like listening to him.

Apart from Steve Wright ......in small doses.... radio one disc jockeys during prime time were shocking

Bates , Gary Davies , Mike Read , Bruno Brookes all hopeless boring Phil Collins types

Tried to be zany at times but crap
