Well, one of the tracks on the album seems quite suitable at the moment.”
Bob said: “I am proud and honoured to be taking over a BBC Radio 2 institution from a true broadcasting great. Johnnie and I have been friends since my years presenting Old Grey Whistle Test and the original Sounds of the 70’s and I will do everything I can to maintain his legacy and curate the programme with the very best music from that incredible decade.”
