As we stop for a moment of silence to recognise and reflect back on that fateful morning two years ago when we awoke to learn of Gene's passing, rockvillerocket.com would also like to raise a glass in memory of a man and career that will live on within the hearts of all Pitneyvilleans forever.

THANKS GENE!

We would also like to share this nice e-mail and piece of news we received from Toby Opperman over at Big L 1395 regarding a tribute show that will be on the radio next weekend in memory of Gene. Hope you get to tune in! Thanks to Toby for this.

International radio station, Big L 1395AM will be continuing its highly successful programme, This Sunday At Nine with a look at the music and career of Gene Pitney.

Hosted by former Radio 1 DJ, Mike Read, the hour-long programme will feature classic Gene tracks as well as a few forgotten gems.

Big L 1395 probably plays more Gene Pitney than any other commercial radio station.

The show airs this Sunday (13 April)at 21.00. It repeats next Wednesday (16 April) at 21.00.

Big L is available on 1395AM/Sky Digital 0190/www.bigl.co.uk
