YoungWillz 21,067 Posted June 29, 2023 Reports the death of Tim Blackmore, his producer who was hired in connection with the launch of the new BBC Radios in 1967: Tim Blackmore also worked with Stuart Henry and Noel Edmonds in those early days, and later worked with Alan Freeman on his evening show. Went on to work at Capital Radio, worked on the early Brit Awards shows. Bit of a name, but no Wiki page. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Father Brown 209 Posted July 18 On BBC Morning Live right now, looking and speaking alright I think. But I’ve not seen or heard him in years! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he only bothered with/featured one POTP chart after 1994 while Tony Blackburn hosted it. Tony has a couple of other shows down south (Kent & Berkshire I think), so he's not hanging up his headphones just yet. 2 minutes ago, YoungWillz said: Phil Swern reported dead by Tony Blackburn: Also produced among others R & J Stone's We Do It. Formerly provided the questions on Popmaster and worked on Sounds Of The Sixties with Brian Matthew. Cross-posting report of Phil Swern's death here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,589 Posted September 2 Tony Blackburn has just published on Twitter his entire plan for 2025 Sounds of the Sixties Live events which goes up to November. Do you think he will make them all? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
