Pop Pickers and Music Vendors : David Jacobs, Alan Freeman, John Peel, Tommy Vance and Roger Scott
Cult UK Radio DJ's - Book - by John Van Der Kiste
(2016)
David Jacobs, Alan Freeman, John Peel, Tommy Vance and Roger Scott were
in their different ways five of the greatest pioneering British disc
jockeys of the last sixty years. All were accomplished media
personalities in their own right, and all were passionate and
well-informed about the music they presented on radio and sometimes
television. Jacobs, a much-respected broadcaster for over sixty years,
was the face of 'Juke Box Jury' and the maestro of easy listening and
songs from the shows; 'Fluff' Freeman the pop-picker, who introduced the
Top 20 rundown, later championing heavy and progressive rock, followed
by opera and the classics; Peel revelled in the alternative music scene
generally shunned by most daytime presenters; Vance, 'the Music Vendor'
the friend and lover of hard rock and New Wave of British Heavy Metal;
and Scott an eclectic mix of genres in a career which sadly proved all
too short.
This book examines the lives and careers of each.
