Had several requests for Serious Jockin, so here is the edition broadcast during his final afternoon show on 30 September 2022. As it was the final show, it was 30mins of Serious Jockin followed by 15mins of final farewells.
Steve and his team lifted your spirits no matter what was going on in your day. Heartbroken when they took his show away and devastated I will never hear his voice again. I hope he knew how much he was loved.
Brilliant I always loved this on my drive home every Friday afternoon! Gutted about Steve but this proves how good a presenter he was and how much he will be missed.
I was a field based engineer, driving my car to customer sites all over the country. Steve was always my afternoon company on those long, lonely drives . So many highlights, Ask Elvis, The Old Woman, Mr Angry, Dave Double-decks......................................Thank you Steve for the smiles and often out-loud laughs, your company was always much appreciated.
Thanks for this, still can't quite believe he's no longer with us, the soundtrack to my life and the friend I never met. Rest now Steve and thank you. So sadly missed 💔
Started listening to Steve 1981 on radio 1 right thru to his final show 30 September 2022 on Radio 2. I was 18 in 1981 and he was my go to Dj to brighten my day and got me thru short spells of unemployment in my youth his show was what I looked forward to in the Afternoon. I was lucky enough to see him on the Radio 1 Roadshow 1982 1st week in August Blackpool and then again October 1983 when Steve . Simon Bates and Fluff Freeman did a radio gig in Stewarton community centre Scotland . There has been a massive void left in Radio Broadcasting on the BBC since his passing, to quote Chris Evans Steve was to Afternoon Radio what Terry Wogan was to the Breakfast Show . I will miss his show every afternoon weekday for ever. Thanks for the music the jingles the sketches the characters most of all Steve thanks for the memories pure Radio Gold. God Bless you Mate
This sums up why Steve was so good at what he did. A carefully crafted playlist, that didn’t patronise or pigeonhole his audience, it’s why his fans were from all generations. So many weeks since he left us and I still feel so terribly sad. I have a huge sense of gratitude to Steve for making me laugh on days I really didn’t want to and bringing companionship that didn’t ask for anything in return. I can only hope that he knew what a difference he made and how terribly missed he will be. Good night DJ Silly Boi
Serious Jockin & Steve's Pick of the Pops. Things on BBC Sounds seem to disappear quickly - which is odd, as you can stream a whole TV series on iplayer.
I agree. All of Steve's Pick of The Pops shows have now almost disappeared off BBC Sounds. Would be good to have them for the archive and listen to again whenever you want.
So glad they ended the regular show with the joyful Serious Jockin’. My favourite part of the Steve Right Show. Then he played Silver Linings by First Aid Kit … started to break, listening to those wonderful lyrics.
Recently I was blessed by finally remembering all the wonderful things we had, and the final song says it all, we were there to see Live aid and Queen, we had the 80s and the dance music of the 90s, the best of Motown and 70s still being played on the radios and some wonderful DJs, with Steve being just one of them, if you are in your 50s now, at no time in history could you have been so much blessed by the music and the times we grew up in, despite what nasty things you may been through you still lived in the best of times.
I’m from America and I listen to this station because of him, and also I was brought here by DKI 1-8 when Lanky wanting to be funny by prank calling Steve Wright. RIP Steve Wright
Thank you for posting this. This was my commute home, usually in heavy traffic, but meant the start of the weekend! A top DJ, gone way too soon. Serious Grievin'....No G 😢
Thanks for posting this. A reminder of what a consummate broadcaster Steve was. Certainly the soundtrack of most of my life was provided by Steve. Serious Grievin - no “g”! RIP Wrighty
I love how Steve's last Serious Jockin' record was Queen's Radio Gaga, so appropriate. RIP Steve, thanks for all the laughs over 40 years. See you again, some place...
I miss Steve - His show was so good. Not like the presenters today who have NO ON AIR TALENT, Its all about giving money away. I found this show after listening to his theme tune which was a master piece, but this was a tribute version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gWuZ03MT0GU.html - - - RIP Wrightie
