RIP Johnnie Walker

[Box Brownie]

Saddening to hear that he has died just a short few weeks following his last 70's show Radio 2.

Johnnie Walker, legendary BBC Radio presenter, dies aged 79

Walker first rose to fame among British music fans as a disc jockey on pirate station Radio Caroline in the Sixties, and later became a favourite among BBC listeners, even if he did hate the Bay City Rollers

Loved his show, it was always entertaining and interesting. I did laugh when I read his comment on the Bay city rollers, who he said were " musical garbage", he wasn't wrong.

Such a distinct voice too. Loved hearing it come out of the speakers.
