Brit Rock 15th October

A word in memory of Sir Jimmy Saville, OBE. One of the pioneers of DJ'ing. Noted for his charity work. A real individual who people are saying nice things about now he's died. Sunday lunch times were Jimmy Saville times on the radio, at a time when he'd get TV size audiences listening.
He had a peculiar habit of saying various catch phrases, "Now then guys and gals. At number two in the charts as we know, howz about that, it's the Rolling Stones, howz about that, arrr, arrrrr." This was from a habit of presenting TV shows where you'd be given a certain amount of time to say what you have to and ill where you need to. Thus all of these vocal aids he used which became his trademark.
Anyway, howz about that. Here's this weeks playlist now then now then.
