Sedate? Pah. I was expecting big fun, tidal
waves of emotion and mawkish sentiment. Why? Well some of us old originals at BRMB Radio threw a bash last Friday for staff members, to mark the 45th
anniversary of the launch date, February 19th
1974. That's today. And the day after Friday's bash...I felt distinctly fragile.
I'm one
of the BRMB originals. They'd hired me the previous November, along with
the great John Howard; we were the first jocks on board. John left,
quite early, to make his way to Radio 4. I stuck around for twenty
years, ten on them on air as, mainly, a rock jock.
