Guy Garvey to front new music show on iPlayer
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 26 June 2015
An iPlayer-based new music telly show going live every fortnight hosted by all-round nice block Guy Garvey in which the Elbow man and 6Music DJ will discuss current musical passions with a host of other BBC presenters? Fuck me, something is happening under the big BBC Music banner that’s not totally shit.
Says the guy Garvey: “We are a nation of music lovers and the show is specifically designed to connect people with great music that they may not have the time to go and find during their daily lives. In an extension of the spirit of curation that BBC Radio 6 Music lives by, I am literally showcasing the music I think will one day be worthy of the word ‘classic'”.
The show, called ‘Music Box’, will also raid the BBC music archives to replay out performances from old shows, and current ones like ‘Later’. Says James Stirling, Editor of BBC Music: “We’re really excited about this brand-new BBC Music commission and in Guy we have one of the UK’s most talented and respected musicians. BBC Music is developing music programming in different forms and this is the next step in an exciting future”.
