Please god, let’s hear the last of Brian Pern Giles Peterson and his Bolivian Flute orchestra’s and other such nonsense

Try NTS. Far superior independent radio.

Please god, let’s hear the last of Brian Pern Giles Peterson and his Bolivian Flute orchestra’s and other such nonsense

Here’s hoping. Absolute tosh.

but also that liz Kershaw would be leaving

Please let this be true

I too listen all day Saturday (as long as I’m in a new van at work). Agree re Kershaw and the news!!! It was insane yesterday, at one point there was an item about dog thefts that was littered with puns 🙄 I know that not everyone is a dog lover, but christ!

Giles was actually alright yesterday, but I’m a huge Pino Palladino fanboy

Indeed, we all have different tastes. I like 6 music and have discovered music I wouldn’t have heard on other stations. I just find Giles Peterson too much like the Fast Show’s Jazz Club. I’ve tried but it’s just not for me.

Liz Kershaw – I think we all agree it’s time for a change.

Have loved Loyle Carners guest show too.

How many times did he go ‘ugh…’ ?

How many times did he go ‘ugh…’ ?

It’s more like ‘oingh’ 😅

Aye that’s an affectation I wish he would ditch.

His artist in residence playlists were pretty on point though.

Liz is OK, Giles is OK, huey/radmac/Craig Charles excellent. Keaveny toss and Cerys unlistenable..too much yodelling for me.

Goea to show though, I’m glad there are some things I hate and thag some people love them…

Like Gile’s show, but then I like a bit of jazz. To be fair, he plays a lot of dance too, his show the weekend after weatheral died last year was moving.

Huey is a proto national treasure

Liz is boooring, it’s the playlist apart from when it’s not the playlist it’s really dull music. I mean music that was dull the first time, let alone when you played it again. Her and Lamaq have something on the BBC management I’m telling you.

Listening to SM now, his Sunday show is right up my freaky alley

RadMac should never have been moved from weekdays (Although was MR’s health issues anything to do with that?)

I’ll happily listen to Giles, Kershaw and most others, just please get rid of Cerys and Steve Lamacq

Yep, Liz said she was moving to a Sunday legends interview-type show.

Just please leave Gideon Coe on weekdays 9pm until midnight.

I will not hear a bad thing said about him!

And lamaq really has got bad, boring ‘features’ and odd crap songs

While I only get to listen to small sections of shows mornings and evenings, I don’t know what you mean by “ boring ‘features’ and odd crap songs”; there are ‘odd crap songs’ on every show! And far fewer than any other stations I can think of. I like Cerys as well, but then I’ve seen Catatonia and Cerys live on many occasions, even been on stage adding percussion to a song, and she’s a really lovely person, I’ll hear no bad words about her.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t her accent that grates with some people…
Peterson, not my thing, but I never listen on Saturdays anyway. Nemone, well, her obsession with electro and ‘beats’ leaves me cold as well; some bands like Orbital, Aphex Twin and a few others I like the odd track or two, but that’s about it.

I don’t know what you mean by “ boring ‘features’ and odd crap songs”

i guess they mean stuff like kids guessing songs from watching videos, “tell us about a time you were late for work and the car wouldnt start” type of intellect, and my personal dislike (altho i dont think he does it now), when his ‘profiler’ had to guess who the caller was, male/female, how much money they had in their pocket, favourite book etc with total guesswork. “ooh close enough, half a point for that” etc….. what a load of old tosh.

saying that tho, i do like the music on his show, i vote ‘keep lammo’, just knock the crap features on the head.
radcliffe and maconie is essential listening (and dont you dare say their features are crap, nowt up with ‘crisps on the radio’ :D ), i make sure i get up at 7 at weekends to listen or catch it on Sounds, easily the best thing on the radio.

Very disappointed to hear Tom Robinson is losing a weekend show I find his show very easy to listen to.
I think the weekend stuff is a good mix of everything, I’m not a fan of Liz or some of the music Giles P plays but I’m not going to say they should be off air.
The worst waste of space everyday not just weekends is the news. If I’m driving it gets the mute treatment instantly, as mentioned above nothing sucks the life out of good chat and music like the words ‘boris Johnson has said today….’ just get rid of it. And adverts for shows.

Ah I’d forgotten about Iggy….love his show! It’s just batshit half of the time….but brilliant for it. Always cheers me up on a Friday night shift if I can get his show on.

Agree re Amy Lame @bigjohn really annoying! I’d vote getting rid of her, giving her slot to Loyle Carner and Guy Garvey returning to his slot.

re lamaq. Most of my listening is weekday and I genuinely love the line up from Laverne to Gideon Coe.

Its only lamaqs show that hits a bum note. Im fairly sure that the playlist goes from laverne to lamaq but im fairly sure that each DJ and their production team gets a fair degree of latitude with what’s played. I love Keaveney’s show cos he shares my musical taste, i.e fair smattering of hip hop, rock and will play a smashing pumpkins song just to listen to jimmy chamberlin’s drumming. Plus i find him witty – probably cos im northern.

but when lammo comes on its just mundane features and always either plays britpop or late 90s tunes in some kind of nostalgia for when he was at Radio 1, and then also plays oddball genuinely crap songs. Like the other day played hazel o connor and then also this sixties novelty chart song that was like ‘right said fred’ but not as good, for absolutely no apparent reason and for the enjoyment of no-one

I like lammo cos he’s a nice guy and i always used to listen to ’round table’ (has that been jettisoned).

weekend bum notes are definitely liz kershaw (see ya!) and probbably Amy Lame, although she’s not as objectionable. Kershaw is like a rochdale dinner lady who went to a few gigs when she was younger, like everyone else, and goes on about them but with no insight and doesnt know anything about music. like interviewed woody woodmansey from spiders from mars, made a big deal about seeing Spiders back in the day, but then proceeded to get loads wrong so Woody had to keep correcting her. And she supports Brexit

id say Gideon coe and Guy garvey are like ‘alan’s hot bath’ when it comes to relaxation

I’m torn with Keaveny as I think he’s got a great taste in music but find him pretty tedious as a presenter.

Lamaque just plays stuff that was hyped in the middle pages of the NME in the mid 90’s then completely forgotten about. I always thought someone out there must be enjoying it but maybe not.
