A lot of dust biting going on
Sad news that Tommy Vance has passed away. First John Peel and now Tommy. Best remembered by me for The Friday Rock Show on Radio 1 Friday nights 9pm, during those angst ridden teenage years studying[1] for non important (as it turned out but not like that at the time) 'O' and 'A' Levels. For every worthless heavy metal track there was usually a gem of real music to be found in one of his shows. Especially when he trawled through the vast archives of Top Gear for some serious Floyd, Zeppelin, Cream et al. Proper DJ voice (like he was on 100 fags a day and a bottle of JD before breakfast) too.
[1] Ok, ok, so I've never studied for an exam in my life but you know what I mean.
