CW: Andy Kershaw dies
#British #DJ and #presenter #AndyKershaw passed away. He was a huge promoter of music of all kinds and from many countries. He also contributed to the #bbc series #FromOurOwnCorrespondent where he covered topcis such as the #RwandanGenocide and the conflict in #SierraLeone . He was not perfect and faced some problems including a short prison sentence.
Thank you for the music Andy and the more indepth and sensitive stories covering some of the worst aspects of humanity. (...)

"Revealing his cancer diagnosis in a statement earlier this year, he said he was in “good spirits”, joking he was “determined not to die before Benjamin Netanyahu, Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and Ant’n’Dec. That should keep me going for a while.”"
I suspect he was joking but what have poor Ant'N'Dec done to be in that group?

Just heard about Andy Kershaw. Another voice from my formative years has gone. 💔

Another one bites the dust. Not that he'd have played that track on many of his radio shows, mind you.
