Dreadful news, a class act and a really nice guy.

What a shame, he had an excellent voice and was very funny on the 11 o' clock show.

[Wacky Racer]

Yes, a very sad loss.

*Note the Jimmy Page "rune" logo from Led Zeppelin 1V on his baseball cap....

My teenage heros - Barry Sheene, John Peel and now Tommy Vance. Sign of getting older I guess

Rock on Tommy!!

Jimmy Carr did a good tribute. Well intentioned and the mistakes were funny.

Friday Night Rock Show from 10 - midnight gave me a love of Rock music. It was a great show.
I'm just downloading some AC/DC to my I-pod as I type this...
Sadly missed.

Seconded. RIP Mr Vance.

Now that's a shame - the Friday Rock Show on R1 was part of my teenage years. I'd always tune in to hear the latest Maiden or Metallica songs and try and discover new bands. Great shame.

That is sad. I remember listening to the Friday Rock show when i was a teen - Tommy really got me into that stuff

He had one of those voices, when he kicked a program off you knew that there were some good sounds coming.

Rock on Tommy.

First Peely now Thomas the Vance.

Couldn`t tell you who is on R1 these days. Gave up in disgust at the crap they spout to a very young audience. Ms Cox and Mr Moyles - you should be ashamed at yourselves. Is it any wonder that kids are so bad these days?
