I like that Stones cover a lot.
I do wish people would use their sattelite/freeview boxes more to listen to the radio, than pointlessly have "Only Fools and Horse" on as background. |

Yes, it is the same Johnnie Walker from Radio Luxemburg. In the UK radio DJs use their own names. Johnnie has always been one of the better presenters. |

This morning he played ANGUS AND JULIA STONE - unsigned (well, a little label) and far better than the rubbish the big labels are force feeding playlists with. From Australia like me.
Likewise, Tuesday he played a brilliant girl group version of the Stones hit Have You Seen Your Mother - again, unsigned/small label/download only.
Incredible hearing this sort of thing at 8 in the morning on the biggest station in the UK.
He did the same with SANDI THOM who went on to have a top hit everywhere even here down under.
I listen to him on the web every time he's on. Far better for me than Terry W. |

If this is the Johnnie Walker I remember from 208 (Radio Luxembourg)almost 40 years ago, he is certainly one of the oldest DJs in Britain today.
In America the name of a DJ was/is often a trademark owned by the station. And lots of different on-air-talents use the name/trademark. |

Sounded like bed time radio to me, huge silences, lame humour, absolutely dead. I can't comment on the music 'cause I turned the station quick before I fell asleep and crashed the car. |
