May 13th marks the 20th anniversary of the death of radio legend ‘Daffy’ Don Allen who passed away following a heart attack. Don worked for offshore station Radio Caroline North in the ‘sixties and became the station’s senior deejay. He had, among other shows, a very popular country music programme, which for some time was also transmitted on Radio Caroline South. In the ‘seventies, Don worked for Radio Northsea International. After that, he worked for Irish stations and Manx Radio on the Isle of Man. To mark his sudden death 20 years ago, we’re broadcasting a special Don Allen Revival Show produced by his friend Kenny Tosh. The programme will include a number of former Caroline deejays describing what it was like to work with Don Allen. Tune in on Thursday May 14th at 19.00 GMT (8pm UK, 9pm Europe) with repeats over the weekend.
