Wes Butters - Radio 1 Chart show December 2003

Episode 1102,   Dec 13, 2015, 06:29 PM

Not too many commercial jocks get a chance to appear on Radio 1 or 2, so when word got out that our boyish Wes Butters from Galaxy was to transfer to Britain’s Favourite, it was quite a coup.

He was maybe an unlikely choice for the straight chart format, I thought, given his entertaining intelligence, but what do I know. Having said that, he held fort for an impressive two years - and just revel in this incredible Christmas edition from 21st December 2003. Superbly produced and brilliantly delivered.

It’s good too that Wes has since been heard on 4 Extra, thanks to his fascination with some early radio character comedy, and on BBC Local Radio. Audio courtesy Richard White
