Transcript

00:00 Mike, thanks so much. It's really hard to know what to say about the news of Steve Wright's

00:07 passing, except we are all absolutely devastated and shocked and blindsided by this news. Steve

00:14 was an extraordinary broadcaster, a really, really kind person. He was witty, he was warm

00:21 and he was a huge, huge part of the Radio 2 family and I know my fellow DJs will all

00:27 be absolutely shattered too. And I imagine you're feeling sad too and we are here for

00:33 your messages. If you'd like to reach out, if you'd like to share your thoughts or memories

00:38 about Steve, please do on 88291 because we've all lost a lovely friend who's been a big

00:45 part of our lives for so many years. So we're going to try and do Steve proud for the rest

00:52 of the show and we're going to play the music that he loved so much.

00:56 (upbeat music)
