I haven't heard it yet but will be downloading all the shows on Tuesday
after Radio1 Vintage ends.
Kenny was one of the most inventive and imaginative DJs in my lifetime.
He started his career on the offshore station Radio London (Big L) in
December 64 where he also had a joint show (the Kenny and Cash Show)
with the late Dave Cash. He joined the Light Programme before it morphed
into Radios 1 and 2 and had a controversial career with the Beeb, from
where he was fired in 1970 for a joke about the then Transport Minister
that overstepped the mark. In the years before he died he was with
London's Capital Radio, so unfortunately, I wasn't able to hear his
programmes up here in Manchester.
In his radio programmes he created various personas (some of whom, like
Captain Kremmen, transferred to his TV shows) and used multitracking
techniques to create and record many jingles throughout his career.
Truly a radio genius. Sadly missed.

Hi Vangelis,

I really enjoyed his TV programme when I was a kid, but never heard him
on the radio. Have just got hold of this, and looking forward to
hearing it. Thanks! (No patch needed, in case others would like to do
the same, just `--type radio --pid p059kfxn'.)
