Steve Orchard

So many memories of Tim – all of them happy. From working out of the Watershed in the 80’s lining up the calls for him and Simon on “Rockline”, through to enjoying his masterful chairing of the Sony Awards committee. And who could ever forget the time an entire Radio Festival audience chanted at him whilst on stage, demanding he show us his freshly minted MBE medal. Naturally he obliged and we were all so proud of him, Radio’s ambassador-in-chief. Unceasingly supportive, unfailingly wise, and always measured. Condolences to all the Blackmore family.
And to you Tim – when our time comes, we’ll see you on that next waveband.
