The media industry farewells ‘music guru’ and founding Double Jay announcer Chris Winter
One of the original Double Jay founding presenters and longtime supporter of triple j and Australian music, Chris Winter, has passed away.
Winter created the foundation for what Double J and triple j would become, through championing lesser-known music and pushing for the recognition of interesting and unique acts.
Vale Chris.
You made an indelible impression on my musical tastes since Room To Move on Sunday nights started in 1971 and your importance in Australian music can never ever be underestimated.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Farewell Chris WInter. I will always remember you for this earth shattering (to me) song you played on Room to Move…

Sorry I missed your passing Chris,
Will you have a good chat to Rory Gallagher and pass on my felicitations, as you both helped me to love music I may not ever have found.
God bless you both.
Vince
