Tributes flood in as BBC Radio 1 presenter dead at 76
BBC Radio 1 presenter Dave Jamieson has died at the age of 76 while in Spain.
Boom Radio confirmed the broadcaster’s passing, stating: “We are so sad to share the news that our Sunday early presenter Dave Jamieson died in Spain this week.
“He was 76. He’s been a valued member of the team from afar for five years.”
The veteran radio host had been presenting the station’s Sunday early morning programme, contributing to Boom Radio’s output from his base abroad.
Tributes have poured in from across the broadcasting community following his death.
Nerja Gold Radio, where Jamieson had worked after relocating to the Spanish coastal town, expressed their sorrow at losing their “friend and colleague.”
The station noted that after decades of broadcasting throughout Britain, he had made Nerja his home while continuing his radio work both locally and with UK stations.
Kevin Sykes of Mercia Sound recalled first meeting Jamieson in November 1980, when he was invited to observe the presenter’s Saturday evening programme.
