Steve Roberts
This from the Laser Hot Hits website:
"We are very sad to announce that one of Laser's regular presenters, Steve Roberts, passed away earlier this week from a heart attack. Steve had been with Laser for around 5 years and produced some fine programmes for the station that were always very popular with our listeners.
However, Steve's connection with Laser goes back much further since many of the current presenters on Laser worked with Steve on previous radio stations in the 80's. These include Hits FM, The Music Machine and Veronica Supergold which were all FM pirate stations in London. We all became great friends through our involvement on these stations. More recently, Steve had been producing shows for Internet stations such as Radio Northsea International, Offshore Music Radio and Swedish station, Radio 88 Partille.
You can find out more about Steve and also read some tributes from his friends and loyal listeners at the Garry Stevens message board here."
