Steve Lamacq to scale back BBC Radio 6 Music show

The DJ scales back his afternoon shows from five days a week to one, saying he's "a bit knackered".

Lamacq going down to one show a week. Huw Stephens in to replace him. A lot more about him.

Absolutely he knows his stuff and is a brilliant champion for live music. Flipping boring on the radio though.

 

[FlapJacks]

Blimey. That's a shock. Thought he was there for life.

At 59 it seems he feels that he needs to live one rather than doing the grind till his passing

Been great to listen to him over the years - introduced me to lots of great bands

I believe I am the only person on this board who doesn't mind SL?

I really like him.

Just realised yesterday that Lamacq is dropping down to one day. Apart from Radcliffe & Maconie, his is the only show I ever bother to listen to on catch-up each week. Unless Huw Stephens delivers a similar style of playlist my 6Music listening days may be nearly over

I still try to get one Lauren Laverne show in a week, as well as the occasional Mark Radcliffe and Maconie, Cerys and Guy Garvey. Beyond that a late night documentary style programme. With Radios 3, 4 and 4 Extra they fill my time. Oh and AsRed on Spotify too.

Another shout out for Cerys
I do like my Sat and Sun mornings with Rad/Mac followed by Cerys on a Sunday.

I listen to Radio 6 from Chris Hawkins through to Steve Lamacq to days I work from home.

Hawkins, Laverne, Charles and Lamacq all great in their own separate ways.

 

[The_Lizards_Jumpers]

I still make an effort to listen to Radcliffe & Maconie, Gid Coe & Marc Riley and BBC Now Playing with Tom Robinson. Cerys is normally on, as is Huey and Lauren but I dont actively seek them out. When I remember, then Culture Clash with Don Letts is normally decent, although I've not heard it since the shift to Saturdays.

The only other radio shows I make an effort for are Robert Elms and Gary Crowley on BBC Radio London.

I'm afraid he has such a nauseating tone...cheese fest is all I think when he speaks...cheesey Cockney....
However superb knowledge just wish he had the voice of cheggers
