Rip Johnnie walker dj

[biggs682]

Just heard that DJ Johnnie walker has played his last tune

I have always enjoyed listening to the music he played on his shows.

 

[Drago]

Blimey. Another one gone. R.I.P.

 

[Beebo]

He only retired 2 months ago.
Very sad.

Really used to enjoy his programmes. Sad loss to broadcasting

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

I always used to enjoy his 'Drivetime' show, with the flirting with Sally Boazeman
Plus the 'Sounds Of The 70s' was always worth a listen!!

 

[Ming the Merciless]

He was briefly on Radio 2 yesterday taking to Jeremy Vine’s stand in, about Jimmy Carter. Radio in Peace,

Sad news. RIP Johnnie Walker, loved listening to your shows over the years.

 

[Oldhippy]

One of the great DJ's who genuinely loved music in the John Peel genre.

Grew up listening to Johnnie Walker, firstly on Radio 1 and more recently his Sunday afternoon show on Radio 2.
I stopped listening to Radio 2 many years ago during the era of Chris Evans (couldn't lace Johnnie's boots) on the breakfast show - but I always made a point of tuning in on a Sunday afternoon 3pm to 5pm to listen to a real DJ..
Thank you for the music, Johnnie!

RIP to a true music fan, I listened to him in the 60's on Radio Caroline before Radio 1 started up and he wasn't one who 'jumped ship' he stayed to the end before going to the BBC

He was a nice bloke who was into music, not all of them are. I had a few conversations on air with him once or twice.

Drivetime was never the same once he left. Along with Tony Blackburn he was the last of the pirates still broadcasting. A brilliant DJ who understood that the music came first and he never talked over it, unlike many of them.

I used to listen to Johnnie Walker on Drivetime.

He was one of those radio broadcasters whose voice I could recognise instantly, but I only realised when I read the articles about his death that I hadn't a clue what he looked like.

 

[Accy cyclist]

I do remember him being on Radio 1 in the early 1970's. His name stood out as had the same name as a famous whisky!

I liked it with Stuart Maconie, but even though he's a Lancastrian (Wigan), I've a lot of time for him
A good writer (a few excellent books) & his show with Mark Radcliffe was always good fun
