Brian Matthews Has Died.

[Barsel]

It was reported earlier in the week by the BBC that Brian Matthews had died, but this was not true, sadly though, he has died today. He was a big influence on me as a DJ since I was a teenager, and I was still listening to him on a Saturday morning until he stopped broadcasting in January. He will be missed. R.I.P Brian Matthews. x

A bit insensitive of the BBC to announce it when it hadn't happened.

Saturday mornings will never be the same again - two hours of sheer pleasure. His breadth of knowledge was legendary. RIP Brian x

ZM, the BBC was told by his family that he'd died and thought this was sufficient authority for broadcasting it. Somehow the family changed their minds. I have no idea what was going on, but I don't think the BBC were at fault.

RIP Brian. His Sounds of the Sixties programme was the only programme I listened to almost every week for around 20 years. He clearly loved his music and he introduced me to/reminded me of many great tracks from that era.
