It was with heavy hearts that the news of BBC Radio 1 producer Malcolm Brown's passing was announced. Malcolm was a beloved figure in the industry, known for his close collaboration with the late DJ Steven Wright. The two had worked together on some of the most successful shows in the 80s, including "Young Steve And The Afternoon Boys" and "The Legendary Pub Singer". Their partnership was truly a force to be reckoned with.
Tragically, Wright passed away in February at the age of 69. It was a devastating loss for the entire industry. But now, with the news of Malcolm's passing, the grief is compounded. He was a veteran producer, with a career that spanned decades. He first made a name for himself in the 80s, thanks to his work with Wright. Together, they created shows that were not only popular, but also groundbreaking.
Malcolm was known for his talent and passion for the industry, and his colleagues and friends have taken to social media to pay tribute to him. Fellow radio producer Shaun Tilley shared a touching message on Instagram, recalling his memories of working with Malcolm and expressing his sadness at the news.

Songwriter David Mindel also shared his memories of Malcolm on Facebook, describing him as a great bloke who was always there to support his colleagues. He even shared a funny anecdote about Malcolm insisting on having a few pints and lunch before going to the hospital with a broken leg, after being injured in a football match against them.
Another friend, Richard Pearson, expressed his shock and sadness at the news. He praised Malcolm for his support and for his efforts to bring change to the industry. He also mentioned how Malcolm played the organ at his church on Sundays, showing his diverse interests and talents. To honor Malcolm's memory, he raised a pint of Guinness in his honor.
