The passing of Keith Chilvers yesterday has devastated so many people. The news quickly circulated around social media, causing an out pouring of grief.
Since we announced the terrible news, we have received an overwhelming amount of people sharing their memories and condolences.
Condolences
I met Keith in 2008, when he was looking for a home for Harrow Community Radio, I was looking after the Wealdstone Centre and developing it into a music and media space for Young People. HCR was perfect to help showcase and encourage the young people who accessed the centre. I don't remember our first meeting what I do know is that it wasn't long before we became good firm friends. I spent nearly every Saturday morning with Keith for 5 years, either in a broom cupboard, (sorry studio), a field, shopping centre or car park (rain or shine, mainly rain!) I shall cherish our memories together and I won't be able to hear Elbow's - One Day Like This or Van Morrison's - Moondance without thinking of him.... Oh and THAT day we hung out with the Queen! We've lost one of the 'good ones' but his legacy will live on in so many ways. My love, prayers and thoughts go out to the family. RIP Mate x
