Scottish DJ Bans AC/DC From Radio Show Over Tour Snub

October 20, 2008

Graeme Murray of the Evening Times reports that a Glasgow rock DJ has banned songs by AC/DC from his radio show after the group snubbed Scotland on its world tour.

Rock Radio "Drivetime" presenter David "The Captain" Grant refuses to play tracks from the rock legends because they have only included England in their tour itinerary.

He said: "I couldn't believe it when I saw Scotland was to be missed out of the group's touring dates.

"Fans are contacting the show in their hundreds and to disappoint loyal, lifelong supporters like this is just unacceptable.

"I will not be playing another AC/DC song on my show for a long time to come, or until the band change their mind on coming to Scotland as part of the tour."
