I see that Andy Kershaw has died. One time roadie for Billy Bragg, presenter and DJ (once mooted as the 'next' John Peel). Also a proper musicologist whose knowledge of things musical was unsurpassed. His Radio 3 programme (yes that Radio 3) was a bizarre, eclectic mix of world music that was excellent listening a few years ago for those looking for something beyond the norm. Sadly his personal life was not the best and his mental health and reputation suffered because of it. Died of cancer aged 66. Very sad

It's sad news. I have many happy memories of listening to his shows in the 80s. He was a complete enthusiast, and played some great stuff.

Fucking cancer ...

RIP Andy
