Brian Matthews Has Left The Building

[Vapin' Joe]

Presenter of Sounds of The Sixties for over quarter of a century, a show which gained a large Saturday morning following among those of a certain age group. He'll be much missed.

Oh no. I loved Sounds of the 60s, listened pretty much every week, even if I couldn't get to listen to all of the show due to work.
RIP Brian

I assumed he was very ill when he retired from SoTS.
One of the classic names and voices of pop music.

The earlier BBC report jumped the gun a bit. A few red faces at Auntie at the moment.

Unreal, jumping the gun #fakenews BBC!

So is he dead, alive, or risen from the grave?

Saturday mornings have not been the same since he gave up presenting SOTS.

He was on after John Peel in the Seventies. Round Midnight.

Reports of his death were greatly exagerated
BBC claim it was a close family member that gave them duff info.

 

[biggs682]

he will be missed as a lot of people liked him and his choice of music

 

[Vapin' Joe]

Death now confirmed by the family.

Shame. I used to love his turkey burgers.
