Legend is a word used far to often, but he truly was one. Heaven FM about to get a huge boost, Terry and Steve reunited. Go with all our love and gratitude for a job well done, thanks Steve, Rip

    Steve Wright in the Afternoon in the 80s was my daily escape from the trials and tribulations of being a teenager. Whenever I heard his voice in the past 40 years, it would stop me in my tracks because it was always interesting and funny to listen to. His shows unfailingly left a smile on my face (and a new factoid in my brain). Good bless, Wrightey, and thank you for all the laughter. ❤

    The Pub singer would keep us entertained.
    It was all a bit silly but definitely made the working afternoon pass quicker !!
    My 1st job after training for 18 months as a Radar engineer in the RAF , was at RAF Locking in 1981.
    In 1T hangar where Radio 1 would be playing, Steve Wright came on who I'd not heard before. I was instantly hooked.
    He would go right up close to the microphone and say
    "C'mon touch your radio and feel the warmth of my sincerity " 💜
    I could not believe it when they axed his show in 2022
    I cannot listen to Mills instead I listen to my own music collection on Spotify now.

    The thing is, people told Steve he was brilliant and a legend and he probably did know he was "All Right" but the saddest thing is he has no idea how much literally millions of people are mourning and so saddened by his sudden demise, I think his heart was quite literally broken, shame on you and you know who you are. There are people who are famously remembered and for all the wrong reasons like, Ratner the Jeweller and Matthew Bannister and now whoever that trollop is that did this.
