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.Originally Posted by Eric the Half a Bee
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.
Terry Wigan …….love it
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
Mainstream daytime radio has severely deteriorated over the last few years.
These days DJs seem more reliant on listener contributions more than ever. Listeners using twitter to let thr country know they're driving somewhere to celebrate a birthday, or something similar.
At least Steve Wright was innovative writing and producing his own material.
Radio 6 seems relatively free of that, and combines great older music with new bands and new sounds. For music, I never listen to anything else, and my playlists of 'new stuff' (some of which turn out to be 20/30 years old) tends to be drawn from there.

Bit of an underwhelming tribute act! Sodding autocorrect....Terry Wigan …….love it
I thought it was a very witty take on his well documented hair situation. Always claim the credit Eric, whether or not it’s intended

It's easier not to listen to it.
Terry Wigan, was Terry Wogan's half brother. A huge big Northern Soul fan, he wasTerry Wigan …….love it
His brother has said his death was sadly down to his poor diet .
That's a very hair raising fact.Terry Wigan, was Terry Wogan's half brother. A huge big Northern Soul fan, he was
Any details on what foods specifically his brother believes killed him? Heart attack presumably.
RIP. But radio 2 is awful
Try working on Building sites. I rejoice when someone is using a power tool....
Could have been a Cardiac Arrest. Not the same as a heart attack,although a heart attack can cause a cardiac arrest.
When it happened to me it was not caused by a heart attack.
A few years back I was on a job and the lads had a commercial channel on day in/day out. Now that is traumatic, listening to them actually singing along to the adverts. I still get cold sweats over ‘Trade Centre Wales’ being sang in unison.
Did anyone finish off with
"Tell them Trevor sent 'ewe"???
Oh they all knew that fecker!!
Agreed, i'm not one for the radio in work, i enjoy it being quiet, it gives me time to think. Radio 4 is great, as is radio 6. Smooth chill gets an airing quite often as well.
OK, let's all be honest here, who listens to TalkSport?
The radio station for cuunts.
