whole thing is a horrible story. Someone who seemed a positive character in our formative years, enjoyable to see and listen to, and of whom we were [then] very fond, but who did terrible things to some of our contemporaries.
Then remember an episode of Rolf’s Cartoon Club on ITV, where he was interviewing a young lad and asked him what music he liked. The kid says “wee rule” by Wee Papa Girl Rappers. He can’t have been older than 9.
Rolf says “go on, sing it”
the lad gets embarrassed and says no.
Rolf: SING IT.
he does. Nervous and awkward as fook
knew he was a wrong un since then. Always stuck with me.

I never like him as a kid, always found him a bit creepy and also savile - perhaps I had good sub conscious nonce radar.

He was at Glasto within a couple of years. Presumably on the John Peel stage.
