I wasn’t a listener to his old funk shows. He strikes me as a bit self indulgent with his music choices and too aloof to be really interested in what his audience are having for lunch.
Not a fan though – you can stick your trunk-of-funk.
Clearly not paying attention, Craig is about a whole lot more than the funk show, that format severely limited what he’s actually interested in. He grew up listening to Zeppelin and other similar rock bands, then his dad started playing him a lot of the old blues and soul music that influenced them. He was being interviewed on 6 before he took over the show, and played three tracks that he particularly likes, one of them was Rush, not exactly funk, or soul.
Expect funk, punk, rock…
Anyone care to sign my petition to bring George Lamb back to a weekday daytime slot?
‘Koff! Lamb was a third-rate Moyles knock-off, and Moyles was rubbish, far too fond of the sound of his own ego. Like plenty of radio presenters before him, felt he was too restricted by the radio format for his sparkling wit and personality to shine, so got his own tv chat show.
Went well, that. Last heard of boring tiny audiences on some trashy digital station.
