Description
Eventually, Everett moved away from pirate radio, as the British government began cracking down on restricted stations. He became one of the first DJs to join the newly created BBC Radio 1 station in 1967. It was here where Kenny really began to discover himself and his unique sense of style. With the BBC, Everett proved that he was a highly diverse and versatile performer, capable of producing his scripts, and even composing inventive jingles. Eventually, his personality made him so compelling that he appeared regularly on chat shows and programmes such as Blankety Blank.
Everett earned a reputation for his bizarre sense of humour and became one of the best-known personalities in the radio world. However, his eccentric nature also got him into a lot of trouble over the years, with multiple radio stations. More from Kenny https://www.mixcloud.com/john-grant4/playlists/kenny-everett/
