harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted July 13, 2022 Can we have a Tim Westwood thread, if only for purposes of salaciousness? I suppose he could top himself or get bumped off by angry rappers, though that’s admittedly a reach. Subtitle could be ‘Westwood Ho’ or ‘It’s all gone Pete Tong’… 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,626 Posted November 19, 2022 The 70s Number ones discussions prompted me to look up a local radio DJ from that era, who was responsible for introducing me to the more 'adult' music (Led Zep, Purple, Ozzy and the like) back when I was a freshly minted teen. A name familiar to Midlands radio audiences, Robin Valk, died earlier this year, aged 73. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
