Birth Year

On here it used to say 1958, then it changed to 1955, and now it says 1957. Does anyone know for sure? Crisso (talk) 08:42, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Hugely important in the 80s"!!!???

WTF?? Oh yeh, key events of the 80s - the Miners Strike, the SALT treaty, financial deregaulation and Gary Davies on radio 1. What's wrong with this picture? Clue: it's POV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.121.85 (talk) 12:19, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing and neutrality

Although I don't doubt Davies' notability - I used to listen to him on Radio 1, memories... However, I find it hard to believe that there aren't any reliable sources which can verify the info. Also, the language needs changing, it is far from neutral! Because of work commitments, I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to look at this for sourcing - hopefully next weekend, but it might be in the new year! -- PhantomSteve.alt/talk\^{[alternative account of Phantomsteve]} 06:47, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Work 2017

Added his hosting for Sara Cox on BBC Radio 2, Friday 09 June 2017. We need a photo for him. His company info needs to be researched and verified. David Crayford (talk) 21:13, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This whole article needs a complete rewrite.

This whole biography reads as if it was written by someone with a poor grasp of English, sentence structure and grammar.

It needs editing and a complete re-write in order to make it more coherent. 95.145.240.119 (talk) 08:48, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
