Sad news, love Sounds of the 70s

Was he a jockey or a trainer?

Jockey.

Thought ace had started on the Whiskey

A great DJ, loved his stories on sound of the 70s, very good interviewer as well
oh and he was right about the Bay City Rollers!

RIP Johnnny Walker we wont see your likes again (unfortunately)

Great to listen to and came across as a decent sort.

Sad news at the years end.

Rip

Recently retired I think heard his interview with his wife as well,a lovely couple,I thought he might get to enjoy his retirement.

Any chance of a non hypocrisy thread in 2025 Quixall?

I’ve just put one up,respect for a good man….

I don’t do a hero Cag but Walker was easy listening,no howling and squawking….class act tbf

My thoughts too, Glen.

Lochy always pops up on these RIP threads spouting the same ‘we all die’ line. Yet here he is starting one for a DJ anyone under forty had has never heard of!!

My generation Kenbo…..

I remember a really funny one from this time last year. You saying you were gonna win £35k this year. Priceless!!!

Hypocrisy. As Glen says.

I agree it was,it backfired big time….but we move on….

I don’t do looking over the shoulder…..history !! Bla

We all die ffs.

Lol

He was the DJ when I went to Midsummer Madness at Wembley Stadium in 1975

A well respected guy…..

Please don't spoil a bereavement thread for a much respected man.

Very sad to see him leave us.

A great broadcaster and his Sounds of the 70's on Sunday afternoons has been part of my life since 2010.

RIP, old son.

....And Sparrow is spot on. Any idiots (probably young) thinking of making stupid comments on this thread, please stay away. You will be old one day and those you respect will die as well.

A lot of the music he played was a bit before my time but hearing him talking about the artist and playing the song made it something special RIP

A broadcasting legend …..
