Iggy Pop stepped in for Jarvis Cocker on 6Music last year, with his inimitable growl immediately winning over listeners.
Now, the legendary punk hero is set to return to the digital station. As NME report, Iggy Pop is set to host a new Friday evening show (7pm – 9pm) from April 10th.
Iggy Pop: "Having sat in for Jarvis Cocker last year on BBC Radio 6 Music, I found myself realising how good it was for me. I hope it was good for somebody else too."
"So I’m gonna do it again this year, on early Friday evenings; what we call in the USA the ‘happy hour’. It’s kind of an edgy point right at the end of the designated work week, and I’ll try to play quite a bit of music that’s new and stimulating mixed with very old classics from the blues and jazz masters of the 1920s through to the ’50s that are a little more moody. I’m gonna think of myself as a kind of atmospheric bartender. I’ll try to do my very best."
Paul Rodgers, Head Of Programmes for 6 Music, added: "To welcome him back in a permanent slot on the network is a dream come true for me and our listeners."
Iggy Pop's 6Music show returns on April 10th.
