BBC Radio producer Malcolm Brown, who was a leading figure during the 80s, has passed away, with an outpouring of tributes from friends and industry peers

BBC Radio producer Malcolm Brown, renowned for his work with DJ Steve Wright, has passed away. During the 80s, Brown was instrumental in shaping programmes such as Young Steve and The Afternoon Boys, as well as The Legendary Pub Singer.

Apart from his broadcasting career, Brown was passionate about music and served as a dedicated organist, often playing for church services on Sundays and at funerals. However, Tilley regretted never convincing Brown to record his vast memories, adding, "Although I could never persuade him to sit down with me and record his wonderful memories. Here he is to the far left of this pic during a R1 week out in South Wales. God bless you Malc!!"

Richard Pearson also recounted his experiences with Brown's support, sharing: "Awww no. Malcolm was a great bloke and the only R1 producer to support me, in my maverick attempts to convince the R1 hierarchy, that the world in 1977 was a different place to that of 1967 and that the station needed to reflect this."
