Good to see the Killers Mr Brightside back in the top 40 as well as Sophie Ellis Bextor Murder on the dance floor

You are joking?? How old is that now??

released Dec 2001

Been in that Saltburn film in a weird scene

I thought it had to be 20 years plus!

Did she or did she not host the Friday Rock show at one point? (Can't remember if she did)

Two of my fondest memories of Annie are.The first was when she played the great Australian band The Church on her show in 1988 or 1989..The song was either Reptile, which as one of the greatest guitar riffs of all time or maybe Under The Milky Way which was voted one of the greatest Australian songs of all time in 2018.(I think I recall her saying "The much underrated Antipodean band" which in many ways even now somes up the group) I'm still a big fan of the band. The Church released a great album in 2023 called The Hypnogogue.
My second fondest memory was on one of her later dance shows, when she played the epic single by Flowered Up "Weekender" Check out the Weekender equally epic Video/Film on YouTube staring Lee Whitlock & Anna Haigh.
Annie lived in the Brighton & Hove area, like so many people in the music & entertainment industry past and present have.
A true pioneer!
