Courtney Love is set to host a new eight-part series on 6Music.
The new series is titled Courtney Love’s Women, and finds the American rock icon saluting some formidable rock ‘n’ roll heroines. Working with her friend and renowned music-podcaster and writer, Rob Harvilla, the two will guide listeners through some remarkable real-life tales, while revealing a few home truths in the process.
Each show will be 60 minutes long, and eight episodes are in the works. Courtney Love waxes lyrical about attempting to creatively matchmake Stevie Nicks and Billy Corgan, and how she took pandemic guitar lessons with The Big Moon’s Juliet Jackson. She recalls her time at an all-girl boarding school in New Zealand and in juvenile detention, while also revealing she discovered disco through the record collection at a childhood care home.
The series opens on April 8th, and will be available globally through the BBC Sounds app.
Samantha Moy, Head of BBC Radio 6 Music says…
“Courtney Love is an icon and a trailblazer – her influence on music and culture over the decades is undeniable. At 6 Music, we invite artists to share their stories directly with their fans and our listeners and I’m very proud that Courtney will be hosting a series of incredible shows for us in April. Halfway through the series, on Friday 12th April, we’ll celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of Courtney’s most powerful works – Hole’s ‘Live Through This’ – by dedicating the schedule to her music, the music that influenced her and the artists she’s inspired in Courtney Love Forever.”
Yep, that’s right – on April 12th 6Music will host Courtney Love Forever – from 7am to 7pm, with a host of special moments.
