He sent some to the BBC, who played it on the Home Service channel. They further requested that he become a presenter on the Light Programme, introducing 'sweet' music such as the Northern Dance Orchestra, but Kenny declined. Instead, he approached Radio London in 1964 who took him 'on board'. His madcap broadcasts for pirate Radio London won him a large following, however he was fired because he voiced his opinion on-air about a Radio London religious programme, More from Kenny https://www.mixcloud.com/john-grant4/playlists/kenny-everett/
