Book description
Johnnie Walker is an inspiration. One of the best-known and most
beloved broadcasters in Britain, the charismatic BBC Radio 2 DJ has
achieved legendary status with a hugely loyal following thanks to his
tireless pioneering of new music, his warm and passionate personality
and his soothing voice.
Having thrown away the rule book as a teenager, Johnnie has always
made decisions from the heart. As a result, he has had a brilliantly
colourful life, with more ups and downs than a rollercoaster ride. He
made his name in the 1960s when he and Radio Caroline, where his
night-time show was essential listening for 86% of radio listeners,
continued broadcasting in defiance of Government legislation. In 1976
he walked out of Radio 1 because of his outspoken views and his
insistence on playing album tracks. He made front page news when he
described the Bay City Rollers as 'musical garbage' and when he was
caught snorting cocaine.
In his memoir, he reveals all about his time with Radio Caroline,
his drug addiction, his fight against cancer and his spiritual
awakening. Honest, passionate and humorous, his autobiography will
provide inspiring and entertaining listening to his million of fans.
Johnnie Walker has been a DJ for most of his life. He lives in London
with his wife, Tiggy.
