RIP Sir Terry Wogan

Just taking a break form the usual TOTP81 routine to pay homage to Sir Terry Wogan who died on 31st January 2016, aged 77.

Much that Wogan was very much of our 'parents' world' and therefore kept at some distance, he undoubtedly played a big part in my adolescent and formative years as Radio 2 presenter every weekday morning throughout the '70s and early '80s. His sardonic wit also added much to those endless Eurovision shows when the time came around every year.

His 1978 'Floral Dance' wasn't exactly on this young teenager's favourites list at the time but here is Sir Terry in all his TOTP glory performing his vocal version of the traditional tune on 5 January 1978. The single reached a modest no. 21 that month.
