A Sad Day For The Avids

[Vapin' Joe]

Brian Matthews stepped down from Sounds of The Sixties this morning. It made one realise how much dross there was around at that time, among all the good stuff which still stands the test of time. Cost me a fortune in itunes when long forgotten gems were played.

 

[Sharky]

You can thank your lucky stars for the old tunes. I'll give it five.

 

[Shortandcrisp]

Tip toe through the tulips, through the tulips, through the tulips, through the tulips,
Ohhhwwr, tip toe through the tulips with meeeeeeee!

 

[Pale Rider]

Another less than well-managed departure of a broadcasting legend by the BBC.

No doubt Tony Blackburn will do a decent job, but that will also end in tears if his past record is anything to go by.

Apparently he had no choice and is NOT happy about it. TBF he is 88 so maybe some fresh(er) blood (Tony is not exactly young)). But to move it to 0600 seems crazy to me. It had a big following but I cannot see it getting those figures at that time.
As far as Dermot O'Leary.........I cannot stand him on the radio

I misread the title and thought it was about a plague of ladybirds

 

[ozboz]

[Richard A Thackeray]

Who's next?
Hopefully not Johnnie Walker, or Bob Harris

I cannot abide Dermot O'Leary and turn him off the radio or the TV if he's on. I find him irritating in the extreme. I loved Sounds of the 60s and listened as much as I could .

 

[EltonFrog]

I can't stand Dreary O'Dermot either, an irritating broadcaster to say the least.

As per the thread tittle, what is an Avid?

And with Desmond Carrington recently departed this world we have lost two good sources of often long forgotten gold.
