Steve Wright

I was shocked yesterday to hear of the death of radio DJ Steve Wright. It was only on Sunday he presented, as usual, Sunday Love Songs on BBC’s Radio 2 and he sounded in fine fettle (though the show was probably recorded earlier.) But he was only 69.
We have Radio 2 as our radio alarm station and so we listened to him every Sunday.
His DJing style wasn’t always to my taste (in particular I couldn’t stand his Serious Jockin’ segment) and he had a habit of talking over the ends of songs or even adding his own idiosyncratic vocals but he had a legion of fans and will be a miss on Sunday mornings from now on.
Stephen Richard Wright: 26/8/1954 – 12/2/2024. So it goes.

I abhorred this guy. He was an instant turn off the radio.
On Radio 1, I seem to remember him following Simon Mayo at 1400, and later Mark & Lard at 1500. “Turn it off!”
Hate the show, Steve.

San,
As they say: each to their own.
