Very sad to learn of the death of Keith Baker - aged 90 - one of the founding members of Radio Enfield in 1970. There'll be a short tribute to Keith on royalfreeradio.co.uk on Sunday (23rd) around 9.15pm. Keith did the very first programme on Radio Enfield on 24 May 1970, was our first Treasurer and made most of the original jingles for the station. RIP Keith - thanks for some happy memories! (Picture from 1980).
