Gilles is great. I’m really liking Jamz show beforehand as well – lots of music from all over the place that isn’t played anywhere else on mainstream radio.
Much like radio 1 of yore, it’s the non-daytime shows that aren’t playlisted which are going to be most interesting.
Sunday afternoons work for me – if I’m not riding the easy mood of Guy Garvey seems perfect for fettling. It’s pretty retro – lots of stuff from the 80’s quite often, which sort of feels like a guilty pleasure at times. I could listen to Iggy rattle on all day as well. Listen to those on catch up if not live most weeks. Some of the stand ins on those shows are good to- Ezra Furmans’ shows were a good listen. The guy who was taking over recently needs to ‘know what I mean’ a lot less.
Grimmy i’ve warmed to in the mornings. I think he’s relaxed a bit. Seems to know his music.
