Stuart Henry DJ

Stuart Henry (1942–1995) was a Scottish disc jockey known for his work on pirate radio station Radio Scotland from 1966 and later with BBC Radio 1. Born in Edinburgh, he trained at Glasgow College of Dramatic Art and began his acting career appearing in TV shows like *Dr. Finlay's Casebook* and *Z-Cars*, as well as the film *Toomorrow*.

In 1967, Henry joined BBC Radio 1 and became a regular presenter of *Top of the Pops* until 1969, hosting nineteen episodes. His shows on Radio 1, including *Midday Spin* and *Noise at Nine*, attracted over 11 million listeners. The theme music for his broadcasts was "Soul Finger" by the Bar Kays. However, his career with the BBC ended in 1974 due to speech difficulties caused by multiple sclerosis. He then joined Radio Luxembourg in 1975, where he co-hosted *The Stu and Ollie Show* with his wife, Ollie, until 1987.

Henry's marriage to Ollie (1943–2020) lasted until his death in 1995. She dedicated her life to caring for him as his condition worsened. Henry was posthumously inducted into the Radio Academy Hall of Fame in 2004, recognizing his significant contribution to UK radio broadcasting.
