Still finding it hard to believe that the broadcasting legend Steve wright has passed away. I was his dep for more years than I care to remember. He lived for radio.He was generous with his time and knowledge. Total radio geek and revolutionary in his day.RIP Steve.

I’ve just been blocked by @The_jamesJorden having tried to explain to him about @DannyJohnJules mum.I wanted to put it into context. @The_JamesJorden was right she did look miserable but not always. I’ve known her over 30 yrs and would often pop around to the house to rehearse.
