Terrible news RIP

 

[Peppermint Tea]

Very sad. True legend of the music journalism world. 83…blimey had no idea, still thought of her as a cool and funky 50 something.

That's sad news... I went to school with her son Alex, and went to their home a few times - very Bohemian!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Sad news. One of our own

Sad to see this on the news, a real groundbreaker. Also didn't realise she was 83.

 

[Chicken Run]

Wow RIP

 

[The Fits]

83! Christ the spirit of a teenager. RIP

 

[MattBackHome]

Here she is in 1980 moaning about Brighton's car parking situation, Kingswest, The Brighton Centre, the state of the trains and lastly the delapidation of the West Pier - I have a feeling she would have fit in very nicely here on NSC had she been so inclined.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

All those nights at 10pm Radio 1 in the 70s with Roger Black?? RIP

 

[Beach Hut]

On Sundays when working in Brighton Ticket Office we would always pass her requests when she purchased her ticket to travel to London and every time she played them mentioning us

Great memories of a Prince’s Trust event about 30 years ago, where Annie did a set. I was there in a team helping with other stuff, long story… anyway, afterwards about 20 of us went back to the chalet she’d been provided with, and partied long into the night. She was a lot of fun, great spirit… and could certainly still pull ‘em young and handsome!

We used to repair her car a Morris Marina in the late 70's at a garage just down from where she lived.
Lovely lady, married to Binky Baker

Very much associated with Brighton working for the Argus she was the music reviewer I remember most vividly hosting the old grey whistle test and heavily promoting many punk and new wave bands.
I had no idea that she was in her 80’s they don’t make them like that anymore RIP

 

[Flounce]

Sad news, I had no idea she was that old. RIP

 

[Official Old Man]

83, oh wow. Very sad. Hard to explain who she was but to those of an age, old, she was a huge DJ playing new music.
Maybe she's up there chatting with John Peel about the current music scene.

[Zeberdi]

I’m so sad about this - she was a very close friend of the family (though my father’s journalism connections- we socialised with her (and Binky Baker) for years and I knew Alex well - although he was a bit younger than me.

I also knew Annie apart from family through my involvement in the music scene in Brighton - her caustic humour and support of ground breaking musical genres will be sorely missed.

Farewell Annie - RIP

Oh dear. Sometimes this sort of news hits home harder than others. This is a hard one.
RIP Annie.
