❉ An appreciation of the maverick record producer by Samantha Veal. Punk didn’t start when Johnny Rotten gobbed his first greenie across the stage. Punk started years before that. Punk started in a flat on the Holloway Road, above what was then a handbag shop. There was no McLaren, no Westwood, no New York Dolls. There was a handsome, tone-deaf sound engineer called Robert George Meek, professionally known as Joe.
❉ Samantha Veal looks back on the enduring musical legacy of the man who defined the sound of BBC Light Entertainment. You know his work, of course you do. It was the musical bedrock of most of the things you watched, that you STILL watch. You whistle his tunes, they take you back to sitting in front of the TV with the family. The tunes are…warmth. Audience laughter, applause, whichever super-special guest was on The Two Ronnies….. His work is a comfort blanket for the ears.
