Johnnie Walker

'It's going to be very strange not to be on the wireless any more'
I've just added a bit more and made a couple of corrs so best use this version: It can be a difficult thing, saying goodbye. It can be a challenge to get the tone right, making sure you’re not too sentimental, that you don’t stray into mawkish, while still sounding sincere. Perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise that, after 58 years on the radio, Johnnie Walker did it perfectly on Sunday afternoon when he signed off for the last time at the end of Radio 2’s Sounds of the Seventies.
