Realmedia audio extract of Kenny Everett reporting on The Beatles tour to Radio London in 1966 (direct link)
http://www.offshoreradio.co.uk/evbeat.ram

"On his return to Radio London in 1966, Everett was sent on an exciting mission to tour with The Beatles round America. This eventually lead to a long friendship with the Fab Four. Though at first, Everett didn�t have a clue how to interview anyone. For the first few days, the most penetrating question he asked any of them was �how�s it going?" Eventually, The Beatles took pity on him. Paul McCartney pulled him to one side and said if Everett asked him one question, he�d give an answer lasting ten minutes, which he did. He was the first DJ ever to play �Strawberry Fields Forever� and �Sergeant Pepper�s Lonely Hearts Club Band�. He even took acid with John Lennon, walking around his garden, both in a haze. Later Everett attended one of the recording sessions for the song �I Am The Walrus�. When Lennon reached the lines �sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun, but if the sun don�t come you get a tan from standing in the English rain�, he said to Everett �that�s about us, that day, remember?", Everett didn�t know what he was talking about."

Kenny was great. I used to watch his TV show every night on video when I was younger. I didn't get most of his jokes at that age but I just loved his personality.

Here's Kenny (Archive Hour)
Broadcast on BBC Radio 4
Saturday 22 November 2008 20:00-21:00

On the 40th anniversary of Kenny Everett's first BBC Radio 1 show, music journalist Mark Paytress reassesses the pioneering audio work of the DJ and looks at his place in broadcasting history.

Through interviews and an unprecedented collection of extremely rare archive material, Here's Kenny explores Everett's colourful presenting style and lifts the lid on the broadcaster's true private passion.

Everyone remembers Kenny Everett as a funny-man of the airwaves and television, whose confused private life took a tragic turn when he was diagnosed with Aids in 1993. He died two years later. Few know him as the extraordinary radio pioneer who would spend days at home creating wonderfully original jingles and trailers using techniques that were familiar only to avant-garde musicians and, much later, sampler fiends and hip-hop producers. His extraordinary approach to his work also came to the attention of The Beatles, who later invited him to "produce" two of the most avant-garde (and little heard) records in their catalogue.

Interviewees featured in the programme include Tony Blackburn, Keith Skues, pirate radio fans Chris Dannatt, Chris Baird, Stuart Russell and Jon Myer, and Beatles expert Richard Porter.
