Rusling is a well known scammer and trickster. An accomplished liar, who will go to the ends of the earth to obtain cash in any way, fair or foul, he knows. Rusling has no conscience, and must never be trusted
I see Tommy Vance gave his producer Trevor Dann a mention, years later to be one of the hatchet men of Radio 1. By the way, this is great audio quality. Doubtful it came off the AM broadcast 🤔
anyone know anything about Steves funeral ?...we had to listen to SARA COX crying down the mic the day he passed, now shes laughing and joking and not a mention of his funeral !
I probably listened to tis at the time as I had no tv at the time and all I didi was listen to radio 1...remember Steve with Mike Read with the Read and Wright show on Saturdays i think in '79 ..this must be when he got the show all to himself
sat night staying in and listening to this in 1980 must have been way better than staying in 2024 on a sat night and listening the utter nasty bilge playing on Radio 1 now
Hey I did that recording of Roger when I recorded it in 1980 here -- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gvKDR8i4hSs.htmlsi=Fhq4ZSSW6Z7I85Jp
His first show? Wow! Never heard this before.Straight from the off, he engaged his audience, and made them feel part of the show.Brilliant interpretation of what was needed to make it all work.From his first show, to his last he made you feel you were important.You were the important one! Not him or the artist.Not many could carry that off with sincerity. But Wrighty certainly could! The impressions were also there at the beginning, and all the 'bits and pieces' were already permutating in the background. He really was a one off! Such a special individual and broadcaster.So sad listening back to this, and thinking we will never hear his brilliance on the airwaves again. That is why all the clips of his shows should be played as much as possible, and saved for posterity.So a new generation can come in and pick up from where Steve left off, and create their own style.There will be only one Steve, but "zoo radio" will live on.Thanks to the Godfather Steve Wright. Miss ya Steve.God bless. Thanks for posting.
@@highpath4776 Radio 210 I think ?, before moving to Luxembourg. But even so, if he had started on BBC local stations or college radio, stations like Luxembourg and Caroline, I believe, allowed jocks to experiment and find their own style without too much external input. The number of people that started off on these stations and moved directly to Radio 1 was quite high, over the years. Perhaps poaching is a bit unfair, as those that did move, probably had that career path in mind anyway. But there was a sort of National training ground and somewhere they’d get noticed, before switching to R1. Now the BBC just seem to use presenters off the TV.
There’s no doubt about it : no contest : nobody will ever hold a candle to Steve : he was the master of upbeat disposable radio : Steve was the MALT on a shelf of blended cheap whiskies : Steve is simply irreplaceable : but thankfully due to media nowadays we can all pop in and get a little fix of Steve : thanks for uploading , really enjoyed hearing Steve at his best. RIP
This was when Radio 1 was a really great radio station to listen to. If Radio 1 still sounded like this, I would still listen to it today. I stopped listening to Radio 1 in 1993, after the Matthew Bannister purge of the station.
wrighty was good wasn't he, much missed. iv not listened to him in years due to work etc etc but when I caught him on a Sunday now and again and I enjoyed it but since his passing iv delved into his past shows ( god bless RU-vid ), and yeah ., he was a superb DJ, could easily hold a show on his own. RIP
Had a little cry. He sounded much younger and high pitched than I recall joining later in the mud 80s but his gorgeous humour is shining through. I hear him laughing at himself which I loved. Forever missed xx
