BBC Radio 3 and World Service presenter Charlie Gillett has died after a long illness, aged 68.

Known as a champion of world music, the Lancashire-born broadcaster passed away in a London hospital on Wednesday, his family has confirmed.

He contracted an autoimmune disease, and last week suffered a heart attack.

Gillett is credited with discovering Dire Straits in 1976 after playing Sultans of Swing from their demo tape on his Radio London show Honky Tonk.

Didn't get me.

A) It would have been on SSN which I've just been watching.
B) George Gilett is spelled with two Ts on the end (so is Charlie, but the typo made me think it was someone else regardless).
