On 14th September 2013 an event was held to honour the great Kenny Everett. It featured the unveiling of a plaque outside his former home, 91 Lexham Gardens in west London, followed by the launch of a book: Hello Darlings! - The Authorised Biography of Kenny Everett by James Hogg and Robert Sellers. The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame was delighted to be at both. Photos from the unveiling are below. Pictures of the book launch are over the page. |
We were told that Kenny lived in the top flat. |
