Some say the best from Kenny Everett was broadcast before he came to Radio 2, particularly on London's Capital Radio.
You can "Listen Again" to some of Kenny Everett's madcap Capital Radio performances here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/listenagain/saturday/
Scroll halfway down the page to "Kenny Everett's Radio Days".
Is there anyone on the radio now as inventive and crazy as this? The way he used music and jingles then was pretty much ingenious. |

Was he ever on Radio 2?
I don't think there's anybody to touch him on the air nowadays.. the closest maybe was Adrian Juste? in my book anyway.

Yes, Kenny certainly was on Radio 2.
Our own Timeline page http://www.r2ok.co.uk/R2_timeline.htm
lists:
1967 - Midday Spin 12 - 1.00pm featured different DJ's during the week, including Kenny Everett, Simon Dee, Duncan Johnson and Stuart Henry. In December Tony Brandon replaced Duncan Johnson.
- but I don't know how often Kenny was featured or if the show went on beyond 1967.
1982 - Kenny Everett presents a Saturday morning show on R2. Final show 19/11/83
Here's a Kenny jingle http://www.r2ok.co.uk/r2everett.wav
- that show may have began in 1981
Kenny gets all the credit for his audio/jingle tricks, maye he had all the ideas but surely his producers were doing a lot of the good work??
