Kevin Greening RIP
Many of you will be saddened to hear of the death of former Jazz FM presenter and DJ Kevin Greening at the age of 44.
He's one of the people who inspired me to take up a career in radio - I met him shortly after I moved to Cambridge in the mid 1980s when he was manager of the university radio station.
Kevin was an inspirational and inventive broadcaster, and he was a hard act to follow when I took over the running of the station following his graduation.
Although more of an all-round broadcaster than a jazz buff, Kevin's wit, humour and technical wizardry made him an asset to every station he worked for - from Radio 1 and Virgin Radio to XFM, GLR and most recently Smooth Radio, the former Jazz FM.
Kevin was a greatly talented and genuinely nice guy - it's a shame that he never got the recognition he deserved in an industry obsessed with celebrity.
