Obituary In Pictures This is sad - I grew up listening to Alan Freeman's 'Pick Of The Pops' programme each Sunday - he introduced me to some fantastic music from throughout the years. It was definitely a highlight of each week, listening to that programme while the Sunday dinner was cooking. He, of course, was one of the inspirations for Harry Enfield's DJ characters, Smashie & Nicey and was the epitomy of cheesy but lovable Radio One (and subsequently Radio Two & Virgin) DJs. RIP Alan - thanks for the memories & great music. |
| ...and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. | |
