Damn shame about Steve Wright, his afternoon shows on Radio 1 were always a laugh, Phil Cornwell doing Jagger and Bowie etc. Seems to have been a genuinely nice guy, too. RIP

Steve was shat on by the BBC, dropping him from his popular daily afternoon show, for some younger inferior dude last year, he decided to stay with the organisation for his Sunday morning Love Songs show.

Steve didn't deserve such disloyalty, of course the BBC won't mention their disgraceful decision as they pay tributes to him.

Got to disagree, Radio 6 Music used to be decent station but sadly it's fallen in to the BBC bullshit PC regulation dept, there was once a popular rock show then that was replaced by 'Tom Ravenscroft's is the dullest bloke on the planet show' who got the job via nepotism, Cerys Matthews plays absolute crap, the morning shows with Lauren Laverne and Mary Anne Hobbs is extremely hit and miss, mainly miss. Laverne is on 400k a year by the way.

I still have time for The Radcliffe and Maconie show, occasionally Mark Riley, Tom Robinson and Guy Garvey.

Steve Lamaq does a lot to help young bands but he only does one day a week now, Huw Stevens is usually on everything else.

I quite like Brix Smith when she occasionally does fills slots for Garvey but John Grant is a boring sod.

Can't stand Huey Morgan either lol.

Just my opinion, nowt personal.

I'm so upset to hear Steve Wright has passed away suddenly.

I loved his afternoon/Sunday shows.

The BBC bosses treated him despicably & must have caused him great stress.

RIP Steve.

Love Huey, stunningly good shows and music but I float through all genres happily. At the Saint Agnes/Bex concert recently, got The Hold Steady and Martha Tilson (folk,) Still Corners (dream pop) next up .. Just got tickets for Chelsea Wolf in November, might do Wednesday too around then

There are not many of the good ones left.

Scott Mills & Gary Davis are enough to put me off radio for life.
The bridge over the M3 at Fleet Services is named for Scott Mills, in trip advisor a certain Sydney Harbout wrote "This must be one of the buisiest tourist attractions in the UK. I've been standing here for an hour and thousands of people have come past ..in both directions"

If anyone gets the chance to see Huey Morgan's Latin Music Adventure shows, do watch, it's great TV

The 1990 World Cup Final was the worst of all time. It took Brehme's penalty to end the drudgery.
No denying he was a good player though.

Very sad about Navalny Leon, and big shame for Russia that they are suffering under this arsehole Putin.

I would dip him in offal and then drop the fucker off in amongst a load of polar bears 🐻

We’re no better than Russia tbh. We just hide it well. Like the Post Office for instance and numerous other atrocities
