Glad you posted this - I was about to start a thread.
Annie was wonderful and played such an important role in getting women heard in broadcasting and pop music. I loved her Sunday afternoon requests show - she played a couple for my girlfriend and me.
Always such an enthusiast too; never 'outgrew' pop music, as no well balanced person should. They may say she was 83 but I say she's been 23 for the last 60 years.
Go well, Annie. x

Very sad news. Along with DJ's like John Peel and later Andy Kershaw, Annie Nightingale was instrumental in opening up a whole new world of music and lifestyles to me as a young Shropshire lad in the late 70s. The difference between the day time music on Radio One and the night time box of delights Annie played was massive. The way that Radio DJ's were allowed to champion new music back then is one of the best examples of the licence fee providing a really valuable service
Was great that even into her 80s finding a new band or sound still delighted her as much as it did in the 70s. Hope my enthusiams for music is as strong when I reach that age

First time I heard stiff little fingers was on her show. My second favourite band and a big part of my youth.

RIP Annie you were a legend.
Used to get emails off her regularly when I did my odd stints on the record collectors.
She knew her music...and I always thought of her as the female John Peel.
