Former
PCRL DJ Dies! (b.3-8-1959-d.10-1-2010)
News
just in that Mikey B., aka Michael Bassue (left in photo) has just
died in Sheffield from pneumonia. Mikey was with PCRL in our early
days (having previously been with BBC
Radio Sheffield,)
then he left us in 1987 to join Enterprise
FM
for a while and he later became a part of the doomed Buzz
FM.
The
news comes to us from his cousin Rankin' Festus who fondly remembers
Mikey training him in the use of studio equipment for his first PCRL
show in 1986. Mikey was said to have later run Buzz FM & Club
LaMystique for a while. Cecil and especially Pilot were shocked when
they also were told about his death.
On Tuesday 26th January Mickey Nold, Pilot & Cecil joined Mikey's
family and friends including PCRL DJ's Rankin' Festus, Bee Jay,
Calton C. & Daddy Studio in Sheffield's New Testament Church for
his send off. Hundreds of family and friends were in attendance. The
church service, gospel singers, choir and friends tributes was a
wonderful tribute to his life. Our love is with the family at this
time of great disappear.
Please
email us with your thoughts on this presenter and what he did for
black radio. (

Over
our many years of broadcasting we have collected 100's of hours of
video footage!
Although
a lot of it was already out there it was a bit hard to put it all
together. So now a new page as been launched with over 40 PCRL clips
that date back to 1986. More will be added if I get some response
from some of the thousands of people in the footage!
25
years of music - come on crowd of people where are you now! |

pcrl's
background:- |
|
PCRL had a strong tradition where it's DJ's played honest music that
spoke to the heart and the soul. This website was launched in
May 2002 as an aid to the radio station's programming but since the
station's demise, it has remained as a reminder of what was missing
from UK radio today, that's a sense of worth. Our black history
calendar brings you up to date for most of the events for this
day/month going back nearly 2500 years! it includes musical
performers' deaths and births. This includes; blues, jazz, jug-stars,
soul, r&b, reggae, rap, soca, gospel, opera, painters, film
producers, music producers, sports personalities and civil rights
activists. The History pages are now our press cuttings
and are being updated regularly. Remember PCRL lives on though YOU
the community and although we are no longer on the air we can still
speak to the world through this website. If you have something to say
then contact us now. Thank you for your interest and we hope you can
find some favorite memories of an era lost that was fought for by Cecil
Morris & his friends with a freedom of speech and music
never achieved previously in the United Kingdom.
The
website costs money to run and has no paying adverts. If you would
like to make a donation towards it's up-keep - we thank you |
