But the then pirate station Kiss FM had a secret weapon to deploy: Paul “Trouble” Anderson, who has died from cancer aged 59, one of the station’s most talented DJs and the possessor of a baseball bat. By now Paul was known as Paul “Trouble” Anderson, a name he later adopted by deed poll, and inspired by his love of go-go, the richly layered funk from Washington DC and its pre-eminent band Trouble Funk. However, his relationship with Gordon survived, and Gordon later brought Paul to his new station, Mi-Soul, a digital, legal recreation of the original pirate Kiss FM. Paul is survived by his children, Heidi (with Kerry Ashton), Paul (with Monica Reid), Rio (with Lisa Mason), and a grandson, Jamie-Lee. • Paul O’Connor Trouble Anderson, DJ, born 28 September 1959; died 2 December 2018
