DONALD FAGEN / STEELY DAN
Without doubt, Donald Fagen - half of Steely Dan - is a legend. But what he has achieved stands alongside the other great musicians of our time. His "Nightfly" album is an all time classic which deserves a place in any collection.

DARYL HALL / HALL & OATES
Daryl Hall is another group member who has also produced some sensational music as a solo artist, yet fails to get the recognition he deserves. Hall and Oates also risk being overlooked in favour of poor cover versions these days - tragic!

LEO SAYER
Leo Sayer deserves great credit for the superb singer that he is. Few British stars have have the talent and have had Leo's success, and anyone unfamiliar with the range of his music really should take a listen

THEATRE ORGAN
The theatre (or Cinema) organ is one of the most difficult instruments to master, and we have a fine heritage of talented organists in the UK. This genre of music really deserves a much wider audience.

SIR ALAN KEITH

CHRIS STUART
Broadcaster and pianist
Chris was one of BBC Radio 2's most talented and popular presenters yet for no good reason he was dropped by the station. What a loss to radio! Very few have Chris's level of charm, professionalism and talent.

DESMOND CARRINGTON
Broadcaster and actor
Desmond represents everything a good broadcaster should be: charming, knowledgeable, entertaining and professional. We still cannot fathom why the BBC moved his Radio 2 show from a Sunday, after so many years of fabulous broadcasts.

PAUL JAMES
Broadcaster, comedian and all round entertainer
Paul James is a hidden gem of local radio, which the lucky residents of Kent enjoy a couple of times a week. With internet radio the rest of us can too, his charm, wit and knowledge of good music are a delight to all who have the privilege to hear him.

Broadcaster and pianist
Mornings have never been the same without Ray Moore. His early show on Radio 2 had a huge following, Ray being one of the funniest, yet most professional, broadcasters of all time.
BBC Radio Kent, Melody Night, Sunday nights
Bill has been broadcasting for years, and has one of the best voices on radio. For many years one of the regulars on BBC Radio 2, Bill now presents "Melody Night" each Sunday night on Kent. Smashing!
BBC Radio Kent, weekday mornings
Pat is a fantastic broadcaster, presenting the most enjoyable mid-morning slot on radio. Local radio seems to be where today's real talent lies, we only wish national radio was as good these days.
BBC Radio 2, Organist Entertains, Tuesday at 10pm
Nigel's "Organist Entertains" show is really worth a listen, whether you are an enthusiast of the genre or not. This is fantastic music that has so much to offer a whole new generation of listeners!
BBC Radio Kent, Sunday Requests, Sunday lunchtime
Paul James broadcasts a Sunday request show that always produces good music, and his easy manner and entertaining way provide for perfect entertainment. Ideal Sunday listening.
BBC Radio 2 appreciation website
This site is a great tribute to BBC Radio 2, offering a wealth of information about the station. We fully support the efforts of the Society in trying to retain some of the things about Radio 2 that so many of us cherish, but are gradually being eroded.
Celebrating 40 years of BBC Radio 2 and 1
Another site with loads of excellent information on the old days of both BBC Radio 2 and also Radio 1, including profiles of presenters and lots of history. A great resource for those of us who miss the good old days of BBC radio.
Interesting music site
We like Randy's Rodeo, as it features such an incredible and diverse mix of music (essentially Randy's record collection). You will certainly uncover some gems and rarities here.
