RIP Hughie, a proper legend and a damn nice bloke as well. I only saw him a few years ago when he was playing a veterans’ game and he was in fine form then. This is one of my favourite pics of mine of

Ray Illingworth. 

Yorkshireman. Top bloke

I liked Illingworth when he used to do some of the Co-commentary on the tv when the BBC has test matches. But i wished his wife would have told him to get his Bobby Charlton sorted out.

I only just read this! Thanks for posting. 

I bought the Mike and Micky CD last summer and be sounded in great voice. 

There is only Micky Dolenz left now of course. 

I went to their show in San Antonio a few months ago. Not a lot of projection anymore but when he sang a couple of songs backed by acoustic guitar only I thought he still had a lovely country voice.

That's very sad. Far too young.

Just texted a mate to let him know. One of our somewhat feeble claims to fame is being on the same ferry as her from Athens to Aegina when she was suffering a bit (well a lot) from sea sickness. He replied reminding me that she was the 1st winner on that wonderful gameshow 3-2-1!

A sad loss to the music industry. A brave music presenter that pushed what many suggested were unlistenable.

Only 66 too. I liked Janice.

Very sad news about Janice Long, reunited with her brother Cheggers.

Despite looking (with respect) like an ordinary gal, she became a very prominent figure in female music broadcasting and great credit to her for that.

And as has been already stated, only 66?, no age.

RIP Janice. xx

Janice Long`s Radio 1 weekday evening show was essential listening in the mid-80s.

Along with the music and related guests, there was a magazine flavour with items on social topics and John Walters` music press review. All of which struck the perfect balance between Daytime and Peel. 

Off the top of my head, these are 10 records that in my mind are forever associated with the Janice Long Show -

Killing Joke - Love like blood

The Cult - She sells sanctuary

The Cure - In between days

Husker Du - Sorry somehow

The Smiths - Panic

It`s Immaterial - Driving away from home

P.I.L. - Home

Weather Prophets - Almost prayed

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Candyman

Julian Cope - World shut your mouth

Sad news.

Wouldn't disagree with that. I used to listen to her show a lot with my girlfriend at the time, 8-10 before John Peel IIRC.

A couple more tracks I always associate with her show were Bronski Beat 'Smalltown Boy' which obviously became a big hit but she played it well before that. Another is more obscure but is Red Guitars 'Good Technology' who I *think* were from Hull.

What a thoroughly nice fella n'all. 

Visited Hull several times due to his admiration for William Wilberforce and his connection with the Wilberforce Institute. Always came across as a really nice bloke who loved a good laugh.

well that's what i thought too Phil but they have been genuinely close friends over the decades too so I suppose that counts for a lot in the fickle world of the music industry

(i think we are gonna get a slap on the wrist soon for going off thread!)

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

Bought I'm an Upstart when it came out and pleased to say I still have it.

Really sorry to hear that Mensi has passed away.

Was Mensi’s funeral today, farewell old mate. I’ll always be an upstart
