Chris Needs 'a giant of Welsh radio' dies

Tribute are paid to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Wales presenter Chris Needs, who has died suddenly at the age of 68.

He joined the station in 1996 and hosted his nightly show for 18 years, cultivating a loyal audience, many of whom became members of his "Garden" - a listeners' club.

He was described as a "giant of Welsh radio" and a "one off".

The presenter from Cwmafan, Neath Port Talbot, was also a classical pianist and actor, and here is an interview with him back in 2005 when he was awarded an MBE for his broadcasting and charity work.
