Sad to hear the news about Froggy a good mate from the old days of pirate radio but, have not seen him for years, we worked on several pirate stations together. I have got a lot of fantastic memories when working with him. Froggy inspired me to mix and mastermix and I loved his mixes, such as Heartbeat mix, Love town, Slave mix and much-much more.

My sincerest condolences go out to Froggy's family.

We love you mate from all the gang at talkinews & Chocolate Radio

Tom
