"Long was the DJ who gave singer Amy Winehouse her first radio session and also championed the band Primal Scream.

Other artists to have been given early breaks by the broadcaster include the Smiths and Frankie Goes to Hollywood."

Music without those acts. **shudder**

RIP

Now that is a shocker. She was always on Radio 1 in he afternoons when I got back from school and played Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Relax at that time before someone belatedly decided it was rude. RIP

Sad news, I seem to remember her playing she sells sanctuary twice in a row way back because she liked it so much RIP

Speaking about David Cassidy:

Janice Long: "I had him on my bedroom wall when I was a teenager."

John Peel: "I never knew that you were so athletic, Janice."

I remember seeing her jumping around to Dancing on Sunshine at the Radio 1 roadshow at Herstmonceux back in the 80's

Do I remember correctly that Janice Long and Peter Powell were an item for some time,eighties possibly?

 

[Dave the OAP]

I always remember her being in on TTOP when simply red did Holding back the years and her saying “ pure soul” and I thought at the time, coming from her, that is some highlight.

I absolutely loved her. It was so sad when Cheggers died and she was interviewed a few months later and she was still devastated about it.

Such a sad loss.

RIP a lovely lady.

 

[The Clamp]

Very sad. Very talented and knowledgeable presenter.

 

[Official Old Man]

Sad day.

RIP Janice

One of the voices of TV and radio from my youth, first woman on all the Beebs channels pretty much, well justified, a good DJ.

The fact John Peel was a fan tells you everything you need to know.

CHeggers sisters is news to me as well. Well kept secret

Great track. And RIP.

 

[Live by the sea]

Very sad - great dj on radio 1 in the 80’s when radio 1 was a decent station I understand.
