    Can’t stop thinking of him, so sad he’s no longer with us. The voice of my youth, throughout my teens on the daily bus journey home from school, all through my student days his show making a welcome break when studying and through all my jobs over decades. Such a kind person with great warmth and humour, we’ll never see his like again. Go well Steve, you’ll be long missed 💜

    Thank you Steve for all the happy memories. Listened to you back in the 80s till present and loved your Steve Wright in the afternoon show it was brilliant. Im 62 now. You brought so much happiness to all your listeners. You were a true professional and will be so sadly missed by all your followers. RIP Steve. 20:19

    Yes rest in peace Steve. We have missed you from the afternoons and your show was the best on the Radio. Now the hope that one day you might return with your show somewhere is gone. These themes will be where we can return and remember all those fun afternoons. They in themselves are brilliant pieces of music and to open and close your show was an act of brilliance. We will never forget you, never.

    This tune always plays in my head around 5pm Monday to Friday and brings a tear to my eyes everytime I hear it, Steve brightened up the afternoons with his mix of wit, charm, sheer professionalism, and a sense of fun, things just aren't the same anymore. Proud of yourself Auntie Beeb in a bid to get of him and resultant dying a few days later?

    Always driving home from the Military base in the UK where I was serving, this music epitomised that Steve´s standards underlined why I was doing what I did. Professionalism, class - and freedom to express oneself AND Community. - He was a true professional at his skill of broadcasting. I was always driving home in hoots of laughter at Steve and his team of Janey, Tim and the Old Woman.....AND if one piece of music ever stands out way way ahead of the usual ´run of the mill´ radio themes. It is this one. Good on you Anthony James for bringing that extra shine to the legend , Steve Wright!

And Anthony - Be proud of your magnificent work in helping to create a show which a) Sounded like no other b) Made it stand out head and shoulders over everything else on mainstream radio. 🙏

Thank you though... its a universal trigger that its now 5 o clock.. you should be very proud that a 50 second track is as relied upon as the sound of Big Ben... Thank you

    I'm gutted! Shouldn't have happened this way . I can't help thinking that if his afternoon show hadn't been taken off him he may have been at radio 2 when he became ill not at home alone so he could of been helped or even saved . I know that he always came in much earlier than his show started. We will never know now I suppose .
