- Classic Rock

But we get ahead of ourselves - first off is always the Obituary Section and we had 8 notable deaths since the last headbang. After watching clips of each of them, we voted on who would be the most and least missed. The final vote went as follows:
- Mick Green (Pirates) 21
- Neil Christian 20
- Tim Hart (Steeleye Span) 19
- Dale Hawkins 12
- Johnny Dankworth 11
- Liam Clancy 10
- Teddy Pendergrass 8
- Kate McGarrigle 7
The second feature was Disabled Artistes - 14 were featured and it was a guessing game as to their disability - mostly pretty obvious - but also how they got their disability, which wasn't so easy.

1. What a waste Ian Dury 1978 Polio Swimming 56 points
