Unhappy



The BBC are reporting (for the second time) that the Radio 2 DJ, Brian Matthew has died, at the age of 88.

Brian presented a 2 hour show on Saturday mornings called "Sounds of the 60's", which I always woke up to, and listened to as I got ready and drove to the super market, his style was to give a little information about each song, then play it in full, he never talked over a song, nor cut it short, he acknowledged that the music, not the presenter was the star of the show.

The BBC sacked him earlier this year, even though they said it was a mutual decision. (Brian rejected their statement)

In my opinion he was by far the best DJ the BBC ever had, and a lot of radio presenters could learn valuable lessons from him (yes Steve Wright, I'm looking at you)

R.I.P, Brian.
