2,000 dance music fans have so far signed up to a Facebook group which urges people to vote for 83 year old TV presenter/ radio legend Jimmy Savile in this year's DJ Top 100 poll. Savile doppelganger Neil Scott singled out the Jim'll Fix It star's achievement of being 'the first person to use 2 turntables to create a continuous flow of music' as one reason to vote, as well as his well known penchant for fat cigars, tracksuits and fulfilling people's wishes. "Every year our inboxes are bombarded with spam asking us to vote for some DJ or other in the DJ Mag poll," Neil noted. "Richie Hawtin? Pete Tong? Dubfire? Pah, they all owe it to the cigar smoking, medallion wearing hero that is Sir Jimmy, the man who invented 2 turntable mixing. Jim has fixed it for loads of people over the years . . .let's fix it for him." A similar campaign also sprang up for Eurovision presenter and radio 2 easy listening institution Terry Wogan, this week, also highlighting the ubiquity of 'vote for me' begging letters sent by scores of house and trance jocks.
