@mikephilpott So sad, John was very good to me when I was a young lad who knew nothing. Thoughts with his family.

Gutted to hear of John’s death. It’s impossible to overstate his brilliance as a sound engineer. But I don’t exaggerate when I say he was among the best human beings I have ever met. A truly lovely man who saved my skin as a reporter on many occasions to get something on the air.

John Simpson died today after a long illness. A @BBCnireland sound engineer for 37 years, he was one of the most brilliantly creative people I ever met. Anyone who knew him as a friend, as I did, was immensely blessed. My thoughts are with his beloved (and amazing) wife Denise.

@claremcdonnell1 @tonylivesey @bbc5live Thank you! A brilliant team that knows how to make creative radio but still delivers the hardest of news. And we laugh a lot - has barely felt like work at times.

A privilege to sit next to the brilliant @tonylivesey last night. I gave a strange shriek of joy when he won! We’ve worked together for many years and it’s richly deserved. The love he showed @bowelbabe in her final days showed him as both great person and a skilled presenter.

Last night myself and ⁦@bowelbabe⁩ Dame Deborah James won gold at the radio oscars for our final ever conversation. Radio Times moment of the year. Somewhere I hear the drinking of Prosecco and the shouting of ‘check your poo!’ ❤️

Very weird - I’m sure I just heard an ad on @talksport in Irish (as Gaeilge) Think it was for @HSELive. I wonder how many people listening understood a word of it?

@PED7 Sacking Lampard will cost what you’d spend on a half decent signing. I think that’s been lost of some people.

Dr Éamon Phoenix was not just a great historian, but a supreme communicator. He made complex Irish history accessible. He had a way with words, and with people. I treasured his friendship as well as his insights & expertise. We’ve lost a great.

Pressure only ever comes from the fans so no he’s not under pressure. I’ve not heard a single blue call for Frank to be sacked.
