Andy Kershaw dies at 66

Kershaw spent nearly three decades at the BBC, where he was celebrated for his eclectic taste and for championing world music to a mainstream audience.

He was one of the key presenters of the historic Live Aid concert in 1985 and was widely regarded as the successor to John Peel.

His sister, fellow broadcaster Liz Kershaw, paid a moving tribute, describing him as her 'best friend.' The music industry has mourned the loss of a 'trailblazing' journalist who left a lasting mark on broadcasting and cultural exchange.
