Is this giving you the Trevor?EARNEST DIMINUTIVE bearded rock-centric early seventies mainstay, before departing for Capital and subsequent Channel Four American Football presentation gig.

    Ah, no, Barbed Wireless was a Triple Tracker/Cheesily-presaging “songs for someone in the news/public eye” venture. Fond memories of him suggesting David Mellor just post-Antonia De Sancha and getting as far as “X-Ray Spex, Oh Bondage… hang on, I can’t read that out”.

    I think that’s the first time I’ve ever seen a picture of Nicky Horne.

    I remember the series Rock Steady! Did he co-present it with someone else – I can recall the other guy having a go at Phil Collins every time the Album Chart rundown was on.

    If you’ve got DAB radio, you can hear Nicky on Planet Rock, weekday evenings, 6pm.

    Recommended.
