Former pirate, Radio 1 and Capital Radio DJ. This natural and quite sublime broadcaster died suddenly yesterday. A few years ago, when plugging a book, I was put into a booth at Broadcasting House to record an interview for BBC Radio Kent. The producer just said, “The bloke interviewing you is called Dave…” And a familiar cool mid-Atlantic drawl said “Hi, Paul. This is Dave Cash”. Oh my God, Dave Cash! I was being interviewed by one of my boyhood heroes. We got on so well that we’d meet up if he was in London. Intelligent and engaging, he was also fantastically indiscreet about the stars he knew from the 60s and 70s, so it was always a joy to see him. Unlike other Radio 1 DJs, he never made a record but was a big champion of country music and a big fan of his namesake.
RIP Dave Cash.
