Get Back

It is with deep sadness to tell you that Casper passed away suddenly on Tuesday the 22nd of May. We are playing out a recording today in respect to The Grand Chef. Rest in peace our dear friend. Casper with some of the Radio Today Presenters L-R Henni Erasmus, Neil Starr, Peter Waggenaar, Anton Coy, and Casper



Casper literally spent his teenage years magically entranced between the blasting speakers of his parents’ Blaupunkt hi-fi; mesmerised by what 70s & 80s pop and easy listening radio had to offer. Born in the year of Woodstock and the Moon Landing and a self proclaimed ‘old soul’ (who wishes he could’ve been around to witness when Rock & Roll first hit the airwaves), he’s an enthusiastic music & related trivia collector across all pop, instrumental and classical genres. A presenter previously with Radio Today, Casper’s a chef and event manager; who balances the challenges of work with cycling, organic gardening, running on hi-octane coffee and writing his endless volume of short stories.
