BBC announces special day to remind everyone that music exists
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 14 April 2015
The BBC has announced the very first BBC Music Day, on 5 Jun, a special day when all people – all of them – will come together to celebrate their love of music. Except people who listen to Radio 1, which isn’t involved for some reason.
Who needs Radio 1 though, when you’ve got Radio 2, Radio 3, 6 Music, the Asian Network, BBC Local Radio and, most importantly, ‘The One Show’ on BBC One, which will broadcast live from a special Music Day event in Glasgow.
There will also be ambassadors involved to talk up the event, who include Tom Jones, Lulu, Ricky Wilson, Ricky Ross, Rae Morris, George Ezra, Mark Ronson, Shlomo, Bollywood singer Kanika Kapoor, Only Men Aloud’s Tim Rhys Evans, and conductor Charles Hazlewood.
As you can imagine, with so many people involved, there are a lot of quotes to go along with the announcement of BBC Music Day. I’ve summarised them all for you below:
BBC Music Director Bob Shennan: “Music”
Charles Hazlewood: “Music”
Ricky Wilson: “Music”
Lulu: “Music”
Rae Morris: “Music”
Kanika Kapoor: “Music”
Harry Styles: “Music”
Louis Tomlinson: “Music”
Niall Horan: “Music”
Liam Payne: “Music”
George Ezra: “Music”
Tenor Noah Stewart: “Music”
Unfortunately, there’s now not space to list all the events happening on BBC Music Day. Luckily, some of the money spent on this incredible waste of time and licence fee income has gone on building a website, where you can find out for yourself.
