Very sad news for those of us who knew him and admired him on radio. He called me and asked for advice when his son Jeremy started at Charterhouse - and again when he was sadly killed very young in an accident. Very decent man and terrific broadcaster.

Didnt see this before posting on the other board.
I religiously listened to his wonderfully old fashioned Sunday programme on R2 until he retired only last month. He appeared a thoroughly decent chap and I certainly will miss listening to him.

Yes indeed Foz - I decided he'd earned a post and thread on our sadly dying MUSIC based Forum due to his loyal promotion of all music over the years. I first met him when appearing on Juke Box Jury in 1965/1966 - as a performer and/or panelist (or was that just on the revival - so hard to remember accurately, as we've seen in the Savile fiasco). I do hope false accusers don't decide to make millions now on the late David Jacobs.
