Hi

Yes "Wogie" was one of the best ever broadcasters. I thought he was better on radio than TV. But that is like saying I'd rather have toothache than ear-ache.

Whether he actually discovered artists I am unsure but he certainly brought a number of artists to the British public, some of whom are mentioned above.

I literally bumped into him once. I was going into the 1988 Nat-West Cricket Final at Lords Cricket Ground. It was in the lunch break and as I was pushing my way in when returning to watch the rest of the day when Terry Who was doing the same and we collided.
He smiled at me and we carried on our way.

This was the Middlesex v Worcester match when most of the spectators had come along to watch Graham Hick who had been a prolific run scorer that year. Unfortunately he didn't make many.

I think he will be missed by many.

Sadly
