Association with Pirate Radio
"He had previously worked on pirate radio....." i'm not sure this is true...can anyone verify it?? JXM 22:11, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
- Doesn't seem very likely as the Six-Five Special made him a well established pop presenter in the late 50s - some years before pirate radio was thought of. Maybe he was on Radio Luxembourg, which wasn't the same thing as pirate radio. Adrian Robson 12:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
- I've eliminated the ref to pirate radio. Seems like the confusion arose because of an alternative definition of border blasters like R Lux as pirates on the pirate radio page. JXM 06:48, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

- He is a living person so there should not be unsourced speculation about his private life. Consequently I have deleted the reference to Valerie Singleton, especially since she is also a living person. This is just tabloid gossip. We should only use what is on the public record. Woblosch 21:48, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- I've tweaked up the reference to his son. I was at school with him, and met him shortly, and by chance, days before he killed himself. There were at least 2 marriages. Sherefong 13.33, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
The Wiki article on Valerie Singleton says she was once engaged to Murray. 81.157.67.187 (talk) 09:56, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Coming out?
So Murray 'came out as a Conservative Party supporter in 1983'. You mean he'd been having to hide his shameful secret until then? 81.157.67.187 (talk) 09:32, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
