New Projects

In February 2006, it was announced that Walker was stepping down as host of Radio 2 Drivetime to take over a show on Sundays and conduct interviews with musicians. His last drivetime show was on the 31 March, with Neil Diamond as a guest. The final song played by Walker on the show was Human Touch by Bruce Springsteen. Since 23 April, Walker took over a show on Sundays from 5-7 pm. As well as his Sunday show, Walker also deputised for an unwell Brian Matthew on Radio 2's Sounds of the 60s from 2 September 2006 until the programme broadcast on 25 November 2006 when he too had to take time off the air to have an operation. He returned to the programme on 6 January 2007 and continued to host the show until Brian Matthew's return on 10 February. He also returned to his own Sunday show the following day.

Famous quotes containing the word projects:

    But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.
    Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)

    One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
