Radiobit: Robert Dentith

Kerrang DJ and West Midlands music promoter Robert Dentith has died at the age of 29.

Colleague Loz paid tribute:

"Those of you that knew Rob will understand how radio and unsigned music were his passion and his life. He has worked tirelessly for years on bringing new music to the fore, helping bands where help did not previously exist and to use his favourite quote: ‘provided a voice for the underground’.

"His voice is no longer here but it will live on as the scene continues to flourish as we build upon what he started. My one abiding memory of Rob will always be his enthusiasm for life; his outlook was always positive even in the face of great adversity.

"He was a man whose cup was never half full but truly overflowing and he will be missed by us all."
