I think I prefer WWVD. (What would Vicky do?)
I am going to propose a new hashtag in Vicky's honour. She leaves behind such a fabulous legacy of public service and personal support, wisdom and insights. #BeMoreVicky
If you wish to send a message to the friends and family of Vicky Teinaki, @vickytnz.bsky.social,
about how much she meant to us and the community she was so much a part of, please add them here.
I now have access to a compilation by a close friend of hers (not on BlueSky) and will add ours.

This feels like a punch to the stomach. I used to visit every trip to Newcastle and buy CDs. So sad.
Very sad to learn that this renowned music shop is closing in Newcastle. As a teenager I used to visit after school and listen to Bowie in one of their stereo listening booths and then browse through the records and sheet music and wish I could afford a posh guitar. It will be much missed. Neil x

I'm sorry to hear that Howard Hughes has passed away. Our paths crossed when I worked for LBC. He was one of the good guys. This podcast is worth listening to.
I’m gutted to hear of the death of #Howard Hughes. We worked together at 95.8 Capital FM - what a broadcaster! He lived and breathed radio. Do listen to this radio conversation with @DavidLloydRADIO.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/r...
