Sad news - her and John Peel were fantastic musical influences

Very sad news. All I've ever wanted from a DJ is a passion and love for the music they were playing and she certainly had that. RIP Annie

One of the few people to play the Chameleons

RIP

Yeah. She and Peel were my favourite presenters as they played my type of music. I was surprised when they said 83! Time moves quickly.

She played all the good music. So varied. RIP Annie.

Alan Mills, tennis umpire from Stretford. Hardly a household name, granted, but a face millions would know from the annual Wimbledon coverage. Grey suit and grey hair, seen staring heavenward at even greyer skies or staring courtward at even darker behaviour.
