Jakki Brambles

**Jakki Brambles** (later Jackie Brambles, b. 01 March 1967) is a British journalist, radio DJ and TV presenter.

She began her radio career on local radio station West Sound in Ayr when she was 19, later joining Capital London in 1987 as its youngest DJ. After a year on the evening show Brambles joined the BBC in 1988 as one the first female presenters on Radio 1. She took on the station's early morning show, firstly at weekends, before moving to weekdays. She also joined her colleagues as a *Top of the Pops* presenter, making her debut in July 1989. In 1994 she moved to the United States, where she lived for 11 years, working in American broadcasting. She moved back to the UK in 2005 and has since worked on various TV and radio programme.

Most recently she has been taken on by Greatest Hits Radio, hosting an evening show from 7–10 p.m. every Monday to Thursday.

* Brambles was a kind of 'second generation' of Radio 1 female presenters, following on in Janice's pioneering footsteps.
* Bizarrely, John Peel stood-in for Brambles on her lunchtime show for one week in 1993.

Age Of Chance

**Age of Chance** were a British alternative rock-dance crossover band from Leeds, active between 1983 and 1991. They were perhaps most known for their cover version of the Prince song Kiss which topped the UK Indie Chart in 1986, and peaked at No. 50 in the UK Singles Chart in January the following year.

They are also associated with the 'C86' movement. Their track From Now On, This Will Be Your God was included on the original NME cassette.

## Links to Janice

Janice was a fan of the band and their music. In her interview with Billy Jam in early 1987 Janice said, "*they've got to make it this year*" mentioning in particular their cover of Kiss ("*I think Price had heard it and apparently he approved of it*").

A tweet posted by Sampler Witch in December 2021 in response to news of Janice's death read:

> *When she played Age of Chance twice in a row cos she loved it so much. Most DJs don't do that, it was as if she'd just bought it, got it home and had her mind blown.* [1]

Bananarama

**Bananarama** are a female vocal group founded in London in 1979. The group originally consisted of three members Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward. Fahey, married to Eurythmics' Dave Stewart, left the group in 1988 and would later resurface as part of the pop duo Shakespears Sister. She was replaced by new member Jacquie O'Sullivan.

The original trio had their first two hits in 1982 together with male trio Fun Boy Three, firstly with It Ain't What You Do.. followed-up by Really Saying Something. Their first hit as a stand-alone group, Shy Boy, followed the same year with more hits coming in 1983 and 1984. Their career was revived somewhat in 1986 with the Top 10 cover version of Venus, a remake of Shocking Blue's song from 1969, produced by Stock, Aitken and Waterman. A *Greatest Hits* collection effectively closed the first part of the trio's career in 1988. The new formation with O'Sullivan was less successful although the chart hits continued in the 1990s, when Bananarama were also reduced to a duo with just Dallin and Woodward.

Their latest album *In Stereo* was released in 2019.

In the Foreword to Dennis' e-book *The Black Cab Poet*, Janice describes how she began by reading out Dennis' poems, which he left in the back of his cab, on her Radio 2 show. This then became the inspiration for the Spoken Word session feature.

Dennis was Janice's guest on her Radio 2 show on 18 April 2012, He read three of his own poems Garfield Park, White Van Man and In-Flight Brats. His music choices were tracks by The Rolling Stones and The Smiths. Dennis said he was first drawn to The Smiths by the lyrics of their songs.

Pop Score

*with thanks to Random Radio Jottings for much of the information for this Wiki page*

**Pop Score** was the name of a radio quiz show that ran from 1972 to 1992. Devised by Light Entertainment producer Richard Willcox is was initially seen as a Radio 1 versus Radio 2 contest (early series were carried on both stations) with Tony Blackburn captaining the Radio 1 side and Terry Wogan representing Radio 2. The quiz master was Pete Murray for series 1 to 10, Ray Moore for series 11 to 13 and finally Ken Bruce for series 14 to 18.

David Hamilton took over from Wogan from S7 and Ray Moore took over from Blackburn from S9, although Moore no longer featured in S11 and was eventually replaced by future quiz master Ken Bruce from S12. 1960s sonstress Helen Shapiro had featured as captain in S11 and eventually became permanent in S14, joined from S16 on a permanent basis by Alan Freeman. The last show (S18) was broadcast on 17 April 1992.

David Jensen

**David Jensen** (b. Canada, 04 July 1950), also known as 'Kid' Jensen, is a radio DJ, TV presenter and broadcaster. He began his radio career at Radio Luxembourg at the age of just 18 (thus earning his nickname). He later moved to the UK to work for Radio Trent and in 1976 moved to BBC Radio 1, initially presenting the Saturday mid-morning show. On British television he began hosting the pop music show *45* or *Rock on 45* for Granada TV as early as May 1974, and after his move to the BBC he made his debut as a *Top of the Pops* presenter in November 1976. In April 1978 he moved to a new regular Monday to Friday 'tea-time' slot of 4.30 - 7.30 pm, and continued until May 1980 when he left the UK to work in the US.

He returned to the UK, and to the BBC in October 1981, this time on the early evening weekday show at 8.00 pm. The placing, immediately before John Peel's show at 10.00 pm, led to the 'Radio 1 night time' package and a long-lasting collaboration and friendship between the two. Jensen also began presenting *Top of the Pops* again in October 1981 and remained until his final show in June 1984, presented with 'Rhythm Pal' John Peel, with whom he had appeared for a total of eighteen shows as co-host.

He left the BBC again in 1984 moving to Capital FM where he presented a weekday mid-morning show, moving to weekday drivetime in 1987 until 1998. In January 2018 it was announced that Jensen had been suffering from Parkinson's Disease for the past five years.
Nerina Pallot

**Nerina Pallot** (b. 1974) is an English singer, songwriter and producer, who has released six albums and over a dozen EPs. She was nominated for British Female Solo Artist at the 2007 BRIT Awards and nominated for an Ivor Novello Award for "Sophia" in the category of 'Best Song (musically and lyrically)' in the same year.

Blondie

**Blondie** is American post-punk/new wave group active formed around 1974. Characterised by their unusual formation of a four or five men backing band and a female lead singer, Debbie Harry, they first achieved mainstream success in 1978 in Australia as well as in the UK and the USA.

In the UK their debut album *Plastic Letters* received critical and commercial success although it was the follow-up *Parallel Lines* which would become their best-selling album, eventually going to no.1 in the UK in February 1979, and spawning two no.1 singles Sunday Girl and Heart of Glass. Their third album *Eat to the Beat* went straight to no.1 on its release in 1980, although had less staying power than its predecessor. Singles Atomic, Call Me and The Tide is High gave them three consecutive no.1 hits that year.

The original group disbanded in 1982 although has since reformed to tour and record. The single Maria, the group's first new release since 1982, gave Blondie their last no.1 in 1999.

## Links to Janice

Janice was undoubtedly a fan of the band and their music, also considering the presence of a strong female lead singer, and would have followed the rise in their commercial success. She also featured new material when it came along (*Panic of Girls* album, 2011) and regularly played many of the group's better known tracks.

Tom Jones

**Tom Jones** (b. 1940) is a British singer and recording artist. He had his first UK hit in 1965 with the single It's Not Unusual and since then has clocked up thirty-six Top 40 singles in a career spanning the decades, up to and including his latest UK no.1 album *Surrounded By Time* released in 2021.

After achieving several hits during the 1960s and 70s he has in more recent times collaborated with contemporary artists such as Art of Noise, Tori Amos, The Cardigans, Stereophonics and Mousse T.

## Links to Janice

In an interview with Jakki Brambles in 2021, Janice said she was a big fan of Jones from an early age and in here "early teens" went to see him perform live at the Liverpool Empire, the first live gig she ever attended. She was "blown away both by the performer" and the atmosphere. Jones was Janice's guest on her Radio 2 show in August 2010 and performed live in session. In the interview with Brambles she also tells of how Jones had flown in from LA to the UK and wanted to record a session at Maida Vale for Janice's show. During the session he also asked Janice to perform some backing vocals for him. It was the first time the two had met.

Liverpool band Space paid homage to the singer with their 1997 single The Ballad of Tom Jones, which also featured Welsh vocalist Cerys Matthews. Janice played the record on the same show which featured Jones' session.

Ken Dodd

**Ken Dodd** (Sir Kenneth Arthur Dodd OBE, 1927 – 11 March 2018) was a British comedian, singer and occasional actor. He was described as "the last great music hall entertainer", and was primarily known for his live stand-up performances. He became a famous radio and television personality in the UK, popularising the characters of the Diddy Men, fictional gnome-like characters who originated from Dodd's own birthplace of Knotty Ash, and his trademark "tickling-sticks".

He also performed and recorded many more serious ballads and had hits in the UK with songs like Love is Like a Violin (1960), Tears (no.1 in 1965) and his most famous hit Happiness in 1964.

## Links to Janice

Janice mentioned many times how as a child she won a prize to see Dodd perform live (also with Dusty Springfield) at the theatre in Liverpool. Part of her prize was to meet the artist backstage, where he gave her some sweets.

Morrissey

**Morrissey** is the stage name of British singer-songwriter Steven Patrick Morrissey (b.1959). He first became known as the lead singer of the indie group The Smiths for which he co-wrote the majority of their songs. He later embarked on a successful solo career which continues to the present day.

## Links to Janice

There's no doubt that Janice and Morrissey had a special relationship, dating back to his days with The Smiths and continuing into his solo years. Morrissey wrote in his tribute to Janice after her death:

> *"Janice was immediately in my life during the days of Rough Trade Records … all those tears ago. I would sit very still waiting for “Hand In Glove” to be played on her radio show - and it always was. Suddenly I was a someone. Janice remained loyal to me, even allowing radio sessions during barren times when I was considered far too exciting to be signed by a record label. Such things didn’t matter to Janice. Decades later, when thinking became banned in the UK, Janice invited me onto her show … letting me know that I was valued, letting me know that the press vendetta against me hadn’t fooled those who really count in the end."*
