Tommy Vance - Biography
Richard Anthony Crispian Francis Prew Hope-Weston, known professionally as Tommy Vance (11 July 1940 – 6 March 2005), was a British radio broadcaster, born in Eynsham, Oxfordshire. He was one of the music broadcasters in the United Kingdom to champion hard rock and heavy metal in the early 1980s, providing the only national radio forum for both bands and fans. The Friday Rock Show that he hosted gave new bands airtime for their music and fans an opportunity to hear it. His radio show was a factor in the rise of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. He used a personal tag-line of "TV on the radio". His voice was heard by millions around the world announcing the Wembley Stadium acts at Live Aid in 1985.
